Ho Etsu Taiko will perform the first-ever professional Japanese drum concert at Notre Dame on January 25 at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.

Ho Etsu Taiko is a collective of musicians with a fresh take on the art of Japanese drumming. They blend the deep-rooted culture of Japanese-American taiko with influences that inspire and celebrate the diversity of their performing members. Their mission is to spread joy through each and every drumbeat by creating music that is true to who they are.
The performance to be followed by a reception with Ho Etsu. Light refreshments will be served.
