Mountain River Taiko Performance
Sep 20 @ 6:00 pm – 6:30 pm

We are delighted to be hosting an all-ages Taiko perfomance on the library lawn! Taiko is a full-body performance art that blends physicality and musicality, movement and rhythm. Originating in Japan but molded by a globalized world, taiko performances pay homage to ancient rhythms as well as innovate contemporary beats. Bring a blanket to sit on if you’d like.

Mountain River Taiko is a multi-generational community group sharing their love of Japanese drumming in western Massachusetts and beyond for over 10 years. MRT practices at the Bombyx Center for Arts & Equity in Florence, MA and offers performances and workshops. For more information, visit www.mountainrivertaiko.com
