Event Details | Workshops
One of the goals of Earth Celebration is to foster mutual understanding through shared experiences. Our aim is to make EC a festival not just to observe, but to actively participate in as well, so our workshops have a place at EC as important as the Shiroyama Concerts. Workshops provide participants with the opportunity to play music, make handicrafts, and experience the magic of performing folk arts from all over the world, not to mention the vibrant traditional arts of Sado Island.
Let's Drum!
Styles may differ, but "drumming a beat" is universal. All with their own styles, our drummers will show you all the charms of taiko, the Japanese drum. Young or young at heart, male or female, beginner or seasoned pro, give it your best hit!
