Taiko this week @GLTC - United We Drum!
Hello and Happy Inauguration Day!
Today I watched the Inaugural Parade Across America, with inspiring contributions of people from around the U.S., and it reminds me to celebrate how we are able to come together and connect through taiko, especially in these challenging times for our nation and the world. Thank you, GLTC members, for supporting our taiko family and community! #UnitedWeDrum
On our GLTC Calendar you will see schedules for our classes @GLTC-Online and other taiko happenings which might be of interest to our community. Highlights for this week include kaDON LIVE workshops and Asano Taiko U.S. virtual concerts (see below). *These events are recorded so you can participate even if you have missed or can't make any of the livestream sessions!
Have a good week!
