Boulder Taiko was founded by Julia Misawa in January 2006. Already our dynamic young group has performed at cultural and community events along the Colorado Front Range.
We are working to bring the rich cultural experience of Taiko to local communities by integrating artistic skills and knowledge with traditional Japanese drums music through performances, workshops, and demonstrations for the general public. The study includes the discipline of Mind, Skill, Body and Manner in a sprit of complete respect and unity among people. Last but not least, it includes the pure enjoyment of playing Taiko from the bottom of one’s heart.
We bring the art and discipline of Taiko to all people, regardless of their race, religion, or political affiliation, to promote a stronger, kinder, more compassionate and interconnected community.
