In celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, Sonoma County Taiko (SCT) will join us and present the art of Japanese taiko drumming by Zoom. Enjoy the performance videos and listen to first hand stories of the members of SCT! You can learn about the history of taiko drumming in Japan and North America, Japanese culture embodied in taiko, and the community building aspect of taiko.

Sonoma County Taiko has been active in the performing arts scene in Sonoma County since it was established in 1995.  Our mission is "to build a community of acceptance, harmony, and respect through our love of Taiko."  We perform regularly at local schools, events and festivals, in addition to offering workshops and classes to adults and children.  The membership of Sonoma County Taiko draws upon the diversity of our community and reflects the variety and unity of Sonoma County. SCT offers limited outdoor introductory workshops for beginners.  For more information, visit www.sonomacountytaiko.org 707-575-0723.
