The Hannibal Concert Association and Hannibal Arts Council have partnered to present a special cultural performance on Saturday, March 14 with the St. Louis-based Japanese Taiko drumming ensemble St. Louis Osuwa Taiko. The concert will be held at 7:00 p.m. in the Roland Fine Arts Center’s Parker Theater on the campus of HLGU. Their upcoming appearance is supported in part by a Missouri Arts Council Community Touring Grant secured by the Hannibal Arts Council.St. Louis Osuwa Taiko is a vibrant, community-based ensemble dedicated to preserving and sharing the powerful Japanese art of taiko drumming through dynamic performances and educational outreach. The group traces its origins to 1986, when Daihachi Oguchi—the grand master of Japan’s renowned Osuwa Taiko—visited St. Louis, sister city to Suwa in Nagano Prefecture. During his visit, he gifted the city a set of taiko drums and taught a local youth group to play, planting the seeds for what would become St. Louis Osuwa Taiko. Their upcoming performance is made possible in part by the Hannibal Arts Council and a Missouri Arts Council Community Touring Grant.
Without a HCA season or patron membership, tickets are $25 for adults and $5 for students. Single ticket sales may be purchased online at https://hannibal-concert-association.square.site or prior to the concert at the door.
