Odaiko New England’s Artistic Director Juni Kobayashi performed the first movement of her ambitious new composition “Ganesh Awakens” at Taiko Ten at the 2011 North American Taiko Conference. Juni’s piece was the only solo piece performed at Taiko Ten and it received an overwhelmingly positive reception. If you were not able to make it to the conference this year then here is a video of the performance.
Thanks so much for posting this! It was amazing live– I was hoping someone was videoing (though I know recordings never fully capture taiko. . .) What a fantastic piece and performance!
