Kodo: Luminance at Stanford Live

🌟 Experience the Heartbeat of Taiko! 🌟
Join one of the most beloved taiko groups, Kodo, as they explore the limitless possibilities of traditional Japanese drums, rooted in their home of Sado Island. In Japanese, kodo means "heartbeat"—the primal source of all rhythm—and also "children of the drum."

This program features signature pieces honed through decades of world tours, including the mighty O-daiko drum solo and the climactic Yatai-bayashi finale. Kodo will also pay homage to Maki Ishii’s masterpiece Monochrome, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026, alongside new works by Kodo members and guest artists.

This is a co-promotional event in our inaugural Arts from Japan Season, presented by our partner, Stanford Live. We've secured a limited block of premium tickets reserved for our members and friends, allowing us to experience this concert together.
