Loud, louder, LOUDEST! Tweens and their families are welcome to come enjoy a performance of Japanese taiko drumming.
en Taiko is a Japanese drumming group by youth drummers. The group started activities in Portland, Oregon, in 2007 as an effort to introduce Japanese culture to local communities. The group carries on a centuries-old musical tradition from Japan, and performs at various cultural events. en Taiko plays not only Japanese traditional style taiko, but also shares the exploration of a new art form such as collaborative music creation with taiko and marimba.
Stay until the end and get a chance to learn a little taiko drumming in a brief workshop after the performance! (Main Reading Room)
