Summerwinds Münsterland 2026: Armin Kyūmei Lohbeck

The Summerwinds Münsterland festival brings an evening of Japanese-inspired woodwind music to Münster. Armin Kyūmei Lohbeck presents "Das alte Japan im Mondschein" (Old Japan in the Moonlight), a program that evokes the atmosphere of ancient Japan through the sounds of the shakuhachi and other instruments.

Attendees can expect a contemplative concert experience, blending traditional Japanese melodies with Western classical woodwind traditions. The performance is part of the larger Internationales Holzbläser Festival, which celebrates woodwind music across the Münsterland region.

This special edition offers a rare opportunity to hear Lohbeck, a master of the shakuhachi, perform in an intimate setting. The music transports listeners to moonlit landscapes of old Japan, making for a memorable cultural evening.
