Join us in welcoming Grand Master Seiichi Tanaka & San Francisco Taiko Dojo! Experience the unique combination of traditional and contemporary rhythms, dance, and martial arts that transcend the physical. In 2001, Grand Master Tanaka was named a National Heritage Fellow by the National Ednowment for the Arts. He has also received the prestigious Japan Foreign Ministers Commendation for "significant efforts in promoting the Japanese art of taiko." Tanaka-sensei brought the art form of modern Japanese taiko to North America, founding San Francisco Taiko Dojo in 1968.
Portland Taiko shares the evening with our esteemed guest artists, and brings out the big drums and the whole performing company for its 16th season finale concert. The booming taiko and whirling performers will come together in a veritable feast for the eyes and the ears in this unforgettable concert.
Student & senior tickets: $24.00
