This Saturday: Asian American Music Festival!

Taikoproject was invited by Gary Fukushima to perform this weekend at the Asian American Music Festival with the Pan Asian Arkestra!

Liz and I have been studying the music and we rehearsed on Tuesday with everyone! It's going to be awesome. For me, personally, it's the first time that I'm collaborating with a Jazz ensemble, so I'm super excited.

We'll be performing 2 songs: Jon Jang's Concerto for Jazz Ensemble and Taiko, and Hitomi Oba's new piece, The Generation Tree. Hitomi actually played a little taiko at UCLA with KYNK and Yukai Daiko and knows some of us in TP!

Asian American Music Festival will take place this weekend (10/15 to 10/17).Our 'movement' will perform on Saturday, October 16.Click here for ticket information!! We hope you can come!

Here are 2 photos from the rehearsal!
