After Leaves Fall

Gualala Arts invites you to an afternoon of peaceful music and poetry as Karl Young and Laura Leigh return to the Mendonoma coast for their celebrated shakuhachi haiku concert After Leaves Fall, on Sunday, October 4 at 1 pm. This Global Harmony concert will be in honour of the legacy of poet Jane Reichhold.

This two-hour performance begins outdoors, where Karl Young—an accomplished shakuhachi player—will guide guests along the Haiku Path with the gentle, meditative tones of the Japanese bamboo flute. The journey continues inside Coleman Hall, where music and poetry intertwine in a shared celebration of peaceful beauty.

Laura Leigh will read selections from her latest book and offer contemporary renditions of beloved Japanese songs. Together, this duo creates a calming and uplifting experience, blending traditional sounds with heartfelt expression. Their artistic partnership, spanning over a decade, continues to enchant local audiences with its grace and harmony.

Tickets are $20 in advance, +$5 day of on the day of the concert. Purchase yours at Gualala Arts, the Dolphin Gallery, or online at GualalaArts.org.
