Highlights
It's dense."
Three years ago, we were forced to keep our distance.
Now, after three years, we are allowed to do so
To the sound of the drum, gather.
Let's get together to the sound of the drum.
The theme of this performance is "Distance" x "Taiko".
Usually, most percussion ensemble concerts include keyboard instruments such as the marimba (xylophone), but this performance will not use any keyboard instruments.
This concert, however, does not use any keyboard instruments.
Furthermore, the distance between the players and the distance between the players and the audience will be varied to create an effect that allows the audience to enjoy the changes in the way they hear and play the drums.
KORAKU" is a musical instrument that can be used for a variety of purposes.
What is "KORAKU"?
KORAKU" is a group of musicians who have formed a group to seriously practice this idea: "We want everyone who hears us to enjoy the sound of taiko. We are a percussion group formed by friends who graduated from the same college of music.
We work hard every day to convey the appeal of a wide variety of percussion instruments and percussion music to people of all ages and both sexes.
