Shidara Taiko Drum Group
Thursday, May 1, 2008 – 8pm in Hering auditorium
Direct from Japan comes Shidara! This 18-person ensemble offers skilled musicians and delivers a performance that is a powerful and emotional experience. Their blend of top-notch skill, blinding energy and breakneck speed creates a dazzling performance.
Their music captures earthy tones of long ago and thunders with new images of Japanese mountain life. The Shidara ensemble explodes with masterful stick work, then ushers the audience softly away with soulful harmonies of shinobue bamboo flutes.

Shidara’s stage show resonates in the minds and hearts of the audience long after the last beat is played.
