Kris Bergstrom: Artist in Residence
Announcing our first Artist in Residence for 2018: Kris Bergstrom!
One of our goals here at Mark H Taiko is to help everyone in our local taiko community experience a wide variety of taiko workshops and performances. And one of our favorite ways to do that is to bring amazing taiko players here to DC. So we are delighted to announce that Kris Bergstrom will be joining us in February for a week of workshops, classes, and a special performance!
Kristofer Bergstrom is an accomplished taiko performer, composer, and choreographer, known for pushing the tonal possibilities of Japanese drums and for his groundbreaking movement for slant-style taiko. He was a founding member of On Ensemble, formed Los Angeles Taiko Institute alongside Yuta Kato, and is currently 2017-2018 Artist in Residence for Los Angeles County.
Kris will teach two open workshops as well as giving a special performance during his time in DC. He’ll also be stopping by our classes during the week and is available for private lessons – if you’re interested in booking some time with him, contact Mark H.
