The world-class Japanese drumming ensemble, San Jose Taiko, will journey to Coppell Arts Center for two performances on Saturday, January 28. Known for their synchronized choreography, eclectic musicality, and joyful spirit, San Jose Taiko has been mesmerizing audiences since 1973 with the powerful and propulsive sounds of the taiko drum. Inspired by traditional Japanese drumming, San Jose Taiko performers express the beauty and harmony of the human spirit through the sounds of the taiko as they create new dimensions in Asian American movement and music.

ABOUT THE INTERACTIVE MATINEE PERFORMANCE
