Asian and Asian American Arts and Culture Program

A performing arts season that began in September with a kinetic, percussive dance performance opens its second act with an evening of balletic, theatrical percussion.

Drum Tao celebrates 30 years at the vanguard of taiko. Founded in 1993 with the objective of creating the world’s greatest show using wadaiko (Japanese drums), Drum Tao has spread out from their base in Oita, Japan to perform in front of more than nine million spectators in 26 countries across four continents. The troupe’s performances are magnificent spectacles of musicianship and movement, incorporating wadaiko (or taiko) drumming, Japanese flute and harp, and extraordinary, acrobatic choreography. In their 30th anniversary tour, Drum Tao will revisit some of their greatest performance pieces.

Bring the whole family and bust out of the winter blahs with the extraordinary, innervating showmanship of the world’s greatest taiko ensemble.
