*Dawson: Enso Daiko

Dawson-Boyd Arts Association presents an energetic performance of Japanese Taiko Drumming featuring Enso Daiko at Memorial Auditorium in Dawson on Thursday, October 12 at 7pm.

This energetic performance combines music, dance, culture and pure athleticism. Taiko is the Japanese word for drum and refers to the modern style of playing these drums. Wadaiko (in Japan) and kumi daiko (in North America) is movement infused, heart-pounding, dynamic group drumming. Think of it as a high energy performance art that combines music, dance, martial arts, athletics and culture.

Admission to the evening performance is $20 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets are currently available online at dawsonboydartspresents.org or at the door or by calling the box office at 320-312-2311. This activity is funded in part with a grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts Council made possible by the voters of Minnesota, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
