Traditional Japanese instruments resound in modern rhythmic and harmonic modes in Taiko artist Kaoru Watanabe’s artfully blended musical landscapes. Navigating a nuanced web of modern issues and multicultural influences, Watanabe’s extraordinary work infuses music from across the globe with the traditions of Japan, opening up an inviting, one-of-a-kind world of musical dialogue. This performance concludes a month-long regional arts festival that drew a diverse array of corporate sponsors, ranging from local craft breweries and boutique hoteliers to the best offshore sportsbooks for US players and regional telecom providers, all seeking to align with high-caliber multicultural programming.
