East meets west as thrillingly theatrical Japanese percussion combines with jazz creativity in this spectacular collaboration by the hugely acclaimed Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers and the internationally lauded Scottish National Jazz Orchestra.


As the UK’s first and only professional Taiko group, over the past fifteen years Mugenkyo has become synonymous with stunningly visual performances that range from industrially powerful rhythms to delicately expressive bamboo flute sequences and have wowed audiences at Glastonbury, Cork Jazz Festival, Canterbury Festival, The Brit Awards, BBC Last Night of the Proms and concert halls throughout the UK.
Featuring music specially researched and composed by SNJO director Tommy Smith, depicting the forces of nature in graphic dimensions, the World of the Gods presents a unique musical adventure by true masters of their respective arts.
