Canada’s first children’s Japanese drumming group celebrates thirty years
“Chibi Taiko Explosion”
30th Anniversary Concert
Sunday, November 12th at 7:00 pm
Anvil Theatre
777 Columbia St., New Westminster
Chibi Taiko celebrates 30 years of training children and youth in the art of taiko, Japanese drumming.
The anniversary concert is a culmination of the group’s long-term commitment to passing on taiko to the next generation of Asian Canadians. The concert features all team members from beginners to senior members, some who have been playing taiko for about 30 years. The repertoire will include traditional favourites and new original compositions.
Chibi Taiko was founded in 1993 by Shinobu Homma. Recognized as the first children’s taiko ensemble in Canada and one of the most talented youth performing art groups in BC, Chibi Taiko has performed at many events locally and internationally. Throughout the past three decades, Chibi Taiko has offered weekly sessions teaching children and youth the basics of taiko, the technical and musical skills to play together as a cohesive ensemble.
“In my teaching, I emphasize the importance of skill development in all types of Taiko drums. Upon the development of the skill for all of them, I consider the player an all-round Taiko player. One of my goals in Chibi is to produce as many all-round Taiko players as possible in my lifetime.” explains Shinobu. “The first half of the concert is showcasing the junior members, and their performance is to convey the excitement and the joy of playing Taiko as an ensemble. In the second half, the intermediate and the senior members will show their versatile skills and musicality in both the traditional pieces as well as the contemporary compositions.”
There’s nothing like the energy from children and youth to inspire audiences. You cannot miss this chance to enjoy the astonishing evening with Chibi Taiko!!
