Join us for an evening of dynamic Japanese drumming with Mark H. Rooney!

Please note: this is a Library After Hours event and takes place when the library is normally closed. 
Doors will open for the public for the event at 6:45 PM. 

Taiko, the Japanese word for "drum," is a dynamic form of full-body drumming based in Japanese tradition. This is a highly theatrical, energetic performance that you won't want to miss!

About the artist: Mark H Rooney – “the world’s most dangerous half-Japanese/half-Scottish solo improvisational taiko artist” – has been studying, performing, and teaching taiko for the past 25 years in the US, Japan and Europe. He was the Artistic Director of Odaiko New England, the founding instructor for Wesleyan University’s taiko program, and a touring member of Taikoza. Mark has collaborated with a wide variety of artists and groups including Tiger Okoshi, Opera unMet, UpRooted Dance, Arts on the Horizon, and ilyAIMY. He now lives in the Washington DC area, continuing with his mission: “taiko for all people at all levels.” You can find him on Facebook and  Instagram.
