Taikotroniks reconsiders the traditional parameters of art practice and Japanese taiko traditions within the canon of Canadian music. This Vancouver New Music Society production will showcase the growth of Vancouver’s taiko music scene and launch of the community based ensemble Vancouver Electronic Ensemble. This production will engage the audience in the dialogue of old and new traditions, and in Vancouver’s contemporary music practices. In addition to a final performance, Taikotroniks will include a series of workshops and open rehearsals.

With support from the City of Vancouver’s 125th Anniversary Grants Program and the participation of the Government of Canada.
