Description:

We are happy to host "The Rhythm of Inspiration," an educational taiko program designed to inspire, educate and engage audiences of all ages with the rich cultural heritage of Japanese taiko drumming.

There are three components to the program: a performance component, an educational component, and an interactive component.

  • The performance component features traditional and contemporary taiko repertoire that will inspire audiences with vibrant rhythms and movements.
  • In the educational component, audiences learn about the history, background, and cultural significance of taiko drums.
  • Finally, the interactive component provides an opportunity for audiences to experience playing taiko drumming for themselves.

The Rhythm of Inspiration is suitable for all ages and music experience levels and is a great way to introduce audiences to Japanese music and culture.

This program is made possible by the generosity of the Friends of Westwood Library.
