Yamato Taiko is coming to Laxson, Oct. 13

Chico Performances is bringing the culture and tradition of Japanese taiko drumming to Laxson Auditorium with Yamato Taiko on Tuesday, October 13, at 7:30 p.m.

This Japanese troupe of 10 drummers combines a sense of drama and strong percussion, producing the most “physical” form of music—Taiko drumming. Using instruments such as the huge kettledrum, the side drum, and the tambour, Yamato’s drumming ranges from the delicate patter of raindrops to hammered-out rolling thunder to a slowed-down heartbeat. Yamato combines drums with the timpani, the flute, and colorful, authentic Japanese costumes for an evening of highly charged rhythm.

This performance will have your heart pounding to the beat of Japanese culture and transport you from Laxson to a land far away.

Tickets for this performance are $28 for Premium, $23 for Adult, $21 for Senior, and $16 for Student/Child.

For tickets and more information please visit the Web site or call the University Box office at 530-898-6333.
