The commanding presence of taiko drums will resonate through the gallery in a powerful 40-minute performance that reveals both the raw intensity and the disciplined grace of this ancient Japanese tradition. Driving, intricate rhythms unfold into immersive soundscapes — at once elemental and refined.
