Thrill to the thunderous sounds of the Taiko (Japanese drum). Toni Yagami brings an exciting “Matsuri” (Japanese festival) to The Schoolhouse Theater.

Experience the festival sound of Japan– from traditional songs to contemporary compositions; folktales to cultural facts; lullabies to American traditional jazz and swing; folksongs to classical music pieces – through her “Matsuri” performance that both entertains and educates. In traditional costume, using Taiko drums, various hand percussion, bamboo flutes and occasionally the Koto (Japanese harp), Toni and her troupe delight audiences! Toni Yagami shares her Japanese – American heritage as well as her knowledge of Japan’s culture and music.
