We held rehearsals at Kodo Village\u00a0with guest artists Blue Tokyo & Dazzle for the third day finale of our\u00a0upcoming\u00a0Kodo 35th Anniversary Commemorative Concerts, a collaboration entitled\u00a0\u2013Hisho\u2013<\/span> (Soaring).

We performed with both Blue Tokyo and Dazzle at “Earth Celebration 2014,” so we are looking forward to taking the stage with these two groups this August again.<\/p>\n

Reunited on Sado Island after almost two years, we spent three exciting days rehearsing together. Our three groups have clearly forged a deep bond since 2014 and each day our sound and movements melded together, becoming one. It is hard to describe the feel-good sensation of rehearsing with these ensembles.<\/p>\n

We see them dance as we play taiko, they hear our drums as they dance. We are really excited to see what kind of “chemical reaction” the sound of our taiko and their dynamic physical expression will create on stage at Suntory Hall this summer.<\/p>\n

I hope you will come along to join us for the finale of our Suntory Hall concerts celebrating Kodo’s 35th Anniversary.\u00a0We look forward to seeing the energy created on stage leap, fly, and soar.<\/p>\n
