Odaiko New England brings taiko to Cambridge as part of the Summer in the City arts series. This free event brings music, dance, storytelling, theater, puppetry, movies and more to parks all over Cambridge. Summer in the City is supported by the City of Cambridge and Cambridge Community Foundation (CCF). Join us at 10am on Thursday, July 19th.
Odaiko New England (ONE) is a premier Japanese drumming group in New England. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary and new location in Arlington. Come see and hear what ONE has to offer!
After practicing over 20 years in Woburn, we found a new home in Arlington early this year. This event is our way of saying “Hello” to our new neighbors and show what taiko drumming is all about, and share our love for taiko. You will see different kind of drums, different style of drumming, and have a sneak peak of our new songs in progress, how our school shows would look like, and of course, try some drumming yourself!
All ages are welcome although taiko drumming can get really loud, so those who have sensitive hearing, we recommend bringing ear plugs.
FREE for public (donation appreciated).
