「リダクション 7」は、７０年代の東京太鼓演劇集団／銀天界の美学を再現する特別プログラム。銀天界の一員であったタツ・アオキ氏が独自の世界観で、和太鼓、和洋楽器と日舞が融合していく舞台芸術。「本物を見て欲しい」という舞台監督の熱意が感じられるコンサート。今回の注目アーティストは、ジャズドラマーと打楽器奏者のハミド・ドレイク氏、打楽器奏者、女優、詩人、脚本家のココ・エリセス氏、ジャズアワードの2014年黒人女性パーカッショニストオブザイヤー受賞した、ジョビア・アームストロング氏そして、フランスからのゲストでドラマーと即興演奏者の大島祐子氏である。
Taiko (Japanese drum), is typically heard at seasonal festivals and temples all throughout Japan. At the core of Tsukasa Taiko’s artistic and musical vernacular is a more esoteric and theatrical expression of Taiko that is a less frequented and more difficult endeavor with a speculative destination. Notable companions on this journey will include jazz drummer and percussionist Hamid Drake; percussionist, actress, poet and screenwriter Coco Elysses; percussionist JoVia Armstrong, winner of Black Women in Jazz Awards’ 2014 Best Black Female Percussionist of the Year; and, direct from France, special guest drummer and improviser Yuko Oshima.
“Reduction” is a refined response to the popularity of mainstream taiko drumming, a trend which sees taiko stripped of its particular musical and theatrical elements. This year’s presentation features unreleased materials from 1970’s original taiko theater – the Gintenkai in Tokyo, ranging from traditional to modern interpretations of taiko music as an artistic venture. Classical masters Hyakkyou Fukuhara (flute/percussion), Chizuru Kineya (shamisen), Shijuro Tachibana (kabuki dance), lend their deftness to the evening’s presentation.

Taiko Legacy is one of the largest Taiko drumming concerts in the U.S. Midwest. This perennial presentation reunites professional contemporary and classical performers alongside enduring community members to celebrate over two decades of artist directed performance. The multigenerational ensemble Tsukasa Taiko anchors the traditional musical relationship between shamisen, dance, and taiko. The often-overlooked melodic capacity of the taiko is unattainable without a thorough awareness of the origins and craft of the traditional Japanese music. This ensemble performance explores the concept using original compositions and arrangements rooted in a broad range of musical styles including: ozashiki (geisha chamber music), minyo (folk music), ohayashi (classical/folk/theater music), and matsuri taiko (festival taiko music). This year’s featured guests include San Francisco’s Melody Takata and the GenRyu Arts and three classical music grandmasters from Japan: Chizuru Kineya, Hyakkyou Fukuhara and Shijuro Tachibana.
