National presence, community roots
JASC Tsukasa Taiko maintains an active, national performance schedule and has presented its works at major venues including Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art, the Chicago Jazz Festival, the Chicago Cultural Center and Millennium Park, as well as the Smithsonian, the Indiana State Museum, the Saint Louis Art Museum and San Francisco's Yerba Buena Gardens. We collaborate regularly with our sister taiko ensemble, Gen Taiko of San Francisco.
In addition to presenting artistic programs of the highest caliber, JASC Tsukasa Taiko is deeply committed to its roots in Chicago's Japanese American community and performing regularly at various festivals, special events and other programs in the Japanese American and Asian American communities of the Chicagoland area.
Dedicated to building community and being a leader in the taiko drumming culture of the Midwest, Tsukasa Taiko maintains a national profile by presenting powerful performances across the country throughout the year. Tsukasa Taiko performs at a variety of events, from corporate and government events to community celebrations to cultural programs on major stages throughout the Midwest and the nation.
On top of an active performance schedule, Tsukasa Taiko presents programs including lectures and demonstrations designed to advance the understanding of taiko and its role in Asian and Asian American culture. Tsukasa Taiko works closely with the public schools and community centers of the Chicago area, presenting demonstrations, classes and performances in addition to special workshops held throughout the year.
