Hana

• "Flower": Springtime in Calgary can arrive anywhere from April to June, with the apple, plum, and lilac trees blooming beautifully
• "Craft": Enjoy Yama no Oto's performance as they share their craft of taiko
• "To shine or glow": The enthusiasm of learning taiko shines brightly from new students at the Conservatory, who will also be sharing what they've learned this year
• "To give out love or radiance": Taiko radiates love and friendship to the surrounding community

Please join Yama no Oto and the taiko students of the MRU Conservatory as they celebrate the end of the year with a spring-themed performance.

Share the joy of Spring with a special watercolour package from ColourLove! This is an optional addition to this FREE taiko performance. ColourLove is an Alberta company who hand-mulls small batch watercolours. Check them out at https://www.colourlove.ca/
