With Japanese drums at the foundation of its world fusion music, On Ensemble takes the ancient instruments of taiko into new realms. Infusing the powerful rhythms of ensemble Japanese drumming with elements of hip-hop, rock and electronica, On Ensemble’s unique sound has been praised as “completely original and brilliantly conceived.” Modern Drummer magazine calls On Ensemble “an exciting taiko ensemble looking at new ways to apply traditional Japanese drums.”
This concert is presented by the Museum of Making Music in partnership with the City of Carlsbad’s Cultural Arts Office and is made possible by the Carlsbad Library and Arts Foundation’s Robert H.
