In its fourth year, PVDFest, a free outdoor arts festival cofounded by FirstWorks and the City of Providence, will expand its Sunday programming to feature performances sure to captivate the entire family. Taiko drumming has yet to be presented at PVDFest, and fortunately northern New England has an internationally acclaimed Taiko company who is eager to perform for our mostly southern New England audience. Since 1987, Burlington Taiko has been mesmerizing audiences with the powerful, spellbinding, and propulsive sounds of the taiko. Inspired by traditional Japanese drumming, Burlington Taiko performers use the power and beauty of taiko to transcend cultural barriers.
