Taiko Drum Concert at Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum
April 9 @ 2 - 2:30 p.m.
Young musicians from the area tackle a big sound as they present a concert in the traditional Japanese art of taiko drumming. Taiko is the Japanese term for big drum, but generally refers to large or small drums used in Japanese classical music.
The young musicians - Subaru Honge, Kazuma Ban and Kenji Ban - will play a selection of traditional and contemporary taiko drum pieces, showcasing both nagado-taiko (long-bodied, medium-sized) and shime-daiko (small-sized) drums.
