SOLD OUT: Taiko Drumming: Sounds from Japan

“Head for Japan” this February as BPA’s Cultural Outreach Series brings the powerful and beautiful tones of Japanese Taiko Drumming and other Japanese instruments to the BPA stage.

This concert is created and led by Japanese professional Taiko performers, Ringtaro Tateishi and Asako Tateishi. Since 2009, the two have led Taiko programs at the Seattle-based CHIKIRI & The School of TAIKO.

Launched nearly five decades ago, Ringtaro’s unparalleled Taiko experience spans a 10-year world tour as a member of the world-renowned Taiko group “ONDEKOZA” and seven years of daily performances at EPCOT / Walt Disney World. With ONDEKOZA, Ringtaro visited 26 countries, held more than 1,000 performances – including four concerts at CARNEGIE HALL, and traveled the United States in a three-year marathon tour.

This performance is recommended for ages five and older.
