Join world-renowned taiko artists in an informal, intimate setting!
Mark H is proud to present this unique series of Meet the Artist concerts in which taiko artists play some of their favorite pieces, share works-in-progress, discuss their influences, answer audience questions, and much more.
Whether you are an experienced taiko player or someone looking forward to seeing taiko for the very first time, this is certain to be an evening you will never forget! Anything can happen at Meet the Artist – we’ve had Mongolian throat singing (courtesy of Shoji Kameda), ukelele (courtesy of Kenny Endo’s special guest, Abe Lagrimas, Jr), spontaneous storytelling (courtesy of Mark H and Kris Bergstrom), and audience members helping to create a special, improvisational piece (courtesy of Tiffany Tamaribuchi).
