PERFORMANCE AND WORKSHOP TONIGHT!

Tora Taiko is performing tonight as part of the Asian Pop Music Conference here on campus! From 5-6pm catch us playing the songs we learned in class over the past semester as well as some new material that we just put together. Most exciting is that this is the debut performance for many of our newest members! Come show your support.

After that, from 6-7pm our taiko teacher, Kaoru Watanabe (taikonyc.com), will be teaching a taiko workshop to Tora Taiko members and to the general public. Registration has closed for the workshop, but you are welcome to come observe if you are affiliated with Princeton University or registered with the Asian Pop Music Conference.
