We're are very excited to be making art in the truest sense by bringing together people from different backgrounds and disciplines in a communal sonic atmosphere. Each night features a different ensemble made up of a mashup of JACK regulars and volunteers, and a solo set by Nakatani himself.

NGO Nakatani Gong Orchestra statement
NGO is a non-traditional music orchestra, directed by Tatsuya Nakatani, an acoustic sound artist and percussionist.
Originally from Japan, he has been residing in the USA for 18 years. He is now based in Easton, PA and New York city.
His original idea of NGO was create a rich harmony of multiple gongs, by sharing simple techniques to players and audiences. For each show, he gives specialized training to locally selected gong players. Each player is able to quickly learn about the gong instruments, playing techniques and sign conducting from the conductor Tatsuya Nakatani. This is an ongoing, successful growing project and the only bowing based Gong orchestra exist in the world. The Gong sound is simply magic to anyone. NGO has performed over 50 shows all over the USA since April 2011. Each performance has inspired spirit of all attendees. Many audience members say "I have never experienced this before", in addition they describe having pure cleansing feeling after the event.

(This project is not a gong show or gong bath or for spiritual ceremonial purposes)
