Tower Theatre Matinee, 10:00 AM
TAIKOPROJECT's powerful drumming unites ancient Japanese tradition with 21st century American innovation to create a riot of movement and thundering rhythm. It's been called a tsunami of sound, but this highly charged ensemble is so much more. This show will ignite all your senses with a spellbinding mix of music, theater and precision. Utilizing authentic instruments hand-crafted in Japan, the performers weave traditional and modern forms of taiko together and share elements of their Japanese and Japanese-American culture. The group received international acclaim when they became the first American ensemble to win the prestigious Tokyo International Taiko Contest.
