Taiko Legacy 19

Asian Improv aRts Midwest

Tsukasa Taiko's annual Taiko Legacy Concert returns for the 19th presentation

Museum Of Contemporary Art Chicago (MCA Chicago)

Taiko Legacy is a concert series that recontextualizes the cultural traditions of shamisen, dance, and taiko as contemporary interpretation of music and performance. As one of the largest taiko concerts in the Midwest, Taiko Legacy is anchored by seasoned group Tsukasa Taiko and celebrates the 19th iteration this year. The perennial presentation features arrangements of original compositions which emphasize the melodic capacity of the taiko. The ensemble performance explores these concepts of musicality rooted in a range of musical styles including: ozashiki (geisha chamber music), ohayashi (classical/folk/theater music), and matsuri taiko (festival taiko music). Featured international guests are grandmasters Chizuru Kineya, Hyakkyo Fukuhara, Takane Umeya and Kimiei Fujima from Japan, who will be joined by local grandmasters Shunojo Fujima and Yoshinojo Fujima. The program will feature a pre-show performance by Kiku Taura for the Ethnic and Folk Arts Master/Apprentice Program by the Illinois Arts Council final public showcase.*This event is open seating*a﻿irmw.org/taikolegacy
