Soh Daiko by Kim Nakashima.
A Soh Daiko performance makes Japanese taiko drumming as exciting to see as it is to hear, with high-octane rhythms brought to life through vibrant choreography and athleticism.
The ensemble layers in a wide-ranging world of sounds to complement the powerful drumming, playing bamboo flutes, brass bells, conch shells, gongs, and more. Experience taiko drumming like you never have before.
​
Lead support for Carnegie Hall Citywide is provided by the Howard Gilman Foundation and the Hearst Foundations.
Additional support provided by Northwell Health, Official Healthcare Partner of Carnegie Hall.
A Bit of History:
Soh Daiko was the first taiko drumming group to be established on the East Coast of the United States. The organization was established in 1979. A variety of instruments, including bamboo flutes, brass bells, conch shells, gongs, African shekere, and others, are utilized by the band in the performance of a variety of songs and pieces that are adapted from other musical styles.
Soh Daiko’s performance is more than just playing drums; it also incorporates dynamic movement and choreography, demonstrating physical strength, endurance, and vitality, all of which contribute to the excitement of the taiko performance.
