Event
Japan in America
Town Hall's Global Rhythms presents a showcase concert celebrating the Japanese-American experience. Featured artists include Chieko Kojima, principal dancer and drummer with Kodo, Japan's most renowned taiko ensemble; Hawaii's Kenny Endo, the legendary Japanese American taiko drummer and composer; drummer and flute player Kaoru Watanabe, former long-time member of Kodo; and special guest Susumu Yamagami, one of Japan's great masters of the Tsugaru shamisen (a traditional stringed instrument) in his first ever US appearance. Completing the ensemble is Seattle Kokon Taiko, offering the Seattle premiere of Kenny Endo's The Rites of Thundering, using the massive odaiko, the largest of the traditional Japanese drums. There is a pre-concert talk on taiko drumming by historian Tracy Lai at 7:20 pm.
