TAIKOPROJECT 25th Anniversary Concert

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 of your senses with a spellbinding mix of music, theater and precision. The group received international acclaim when they became the first American ensemble to win the prestigious Tokyo International Taiko Contest. Since then, they have wowed audiences at the Academy Awards and the Grammys with their grace, energy and passion. TAIKOPROJECT first made waves when they became the first American taiko group to win the prestigious Tokyo International Taiko Contest in 2005, besting all of the Japanese taiko groups in the competition. That year, they were cast in the Mitsubishi Eclipse commercial, the first and still only national advertising campaign to prominently feature taiko. Since then, the group has performed on the 2009 Academy Awards, the 2011 Grammy Awards, NBC’s “The Voice,” Syfy’s Face/Off, The X-Factor, and were honored with the prestigious Visionary Award from East West Players. In 2013, TAIKOPROJECT was featured in rock band 30 Seconds to Mars’ epic “Up in the Air” music video and appeared with the band on Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and the iHeartRadio Music Festival. “Freshly relevant, deeply rooted, and boldly innovative” Hollywood Times “Lyrical and thunderous” Cultural Daily “A dazzling celebration of rhythm, ritual, and modern reinvention” ArtsBeat LA “Once those taiko rhythms filled the hall, you couldn’t help but feel the excitement in your chest” Stage & Cinema
