Drum Tao

Drum Tao hikari performance

Monday, February 5, 2024 | 11 a.m.

Grades pre-K through 12th

Based in Oita, Japan since 1993, Drum Tao has touched more than nine million spectators across the world. Drum Tao performances feature “Wadaiko,” or Taiko for short: large, unique sounding Japanese drums, as well as Japanese flutes and harps. This is high-energy performance art that combines music, dance, martial arts, and culture with power, speed, and synchronicity, resulting in heart-pounding, dynamic group drumming.

Students will be wowed by the physicality and all-encompassing sound of these big drums and these youthful drummers. Their athleticism is matched only by their musicality, bringing movement and rhythm together in a way that will speak to young sports lovers as well as musicians. Bring your students and watch the magic happen!
