Shidara Thursday, April 10 7:00pm adults $35 / students $5 Deep from the mountains of Japan comes a troupe of twelve brilliant young men and women, presenting the heart-pounding art of Taiko drumming. Blending top-notch skill, blinding energy and breakneck speed, their performances carry a deep spiritual purpose rooted in ancient times. Defying time and place, their music captures the earthy tones of long ago, and thunders with new images of Japanese mountain life.
