An international phenomenon for four decades, Kodō explores the limitless possibilities of the traditional Japanese taiko drum, forging new directions for a vibrant living art form. With Tsuzumi, the company traces its origins back to its beginnings and reflects on its legacy. The program includes the celebratory Dya-Ha, given as a gift from composer Maki Ishii for the ensemble’s debut in 1981, along with Ishii’s masterpiece Monochrome and other Kodō signature works.

If there is such a thing as perfection in music, Kodō comes as near to it as any group in the world.
