Taikoza Drumming Performance

Friday, July 11, 2025

1:30 p.m.–2:30 p.m.

Taikoza created a new sound using the thunderous rhythms of the ancestral Taiko drums and the magical sounds of the bamboo flutes. Taiko Means big drums – and this is what Taikoza Brings. Taiko, powerful rhythms, and electrifying, room-thumping energy. This exciting group draws from Japan’s rich tradition of music and performance to create a highly visual and stimulating performance.
