Thank you!!

This past Saturday, we had an absolutely amazing concert! Hours and hours of practice, stress and fixing errors paid off on an evening of taiko madness. The transitions were beautiful - many thanks to our special performers Yukiko Matsuyama and Claudia Tenorio w/ Walter and Kenn. Many audience members shared how fantastic and inspiring the whole concert was.



This is a photo of Makoto Taiko minutes before the doors opened for people to enter Thorne Hall. We were full of nervousness, adrenaline and excitement. I don't think any of us could really predict how many people were going to come. And surprise, surprise: it was a full house! Wow!!

Congratulations to everyone in Makoto Taiko! Many thanks to the wonderful volunteers who fed us, manned the reception desks, distributed tickets, sold merchandise, made and set up signs, basically saved the world, etc. Also, thank you to the staff and crew at Thorne Hall! Their spot-on lighting cues helped create the most professional concert we've ever had.

We are already receiving lots of performance requests for the rest of the year. Look for us at the World Festival of Sacred Music coming this October!
