Japan’s world famous Kodo Drummers return to Toronto after four long years! A perfect holiday gift idea for the whole family, tickets are on sale now for Kodo’s new groundbreaking show: Kodo One Earth Tour: Mystery, which runs one night only - Thursday, March 12, 2015 @ 8pm – at the Sony Centre For The Performing Arts, presented by Hammond Associates. Tickets are available by calling the Box Office at 1-855-872-SONY (7669), by visiting www.sonycentre.ca or in person at the Sony Centre Box Office.
Kodo forges new directions for a vibrant living art form with Mystery, a breath-taking spectacle that explores the limitless possibilities of the traditional Japanese drum, the taiko. Taking Kodo to yet another frontier, Mystery transcends the real world as it voyages to a wondrous realm that lies in the beyond, where sacred beasts and myriad gods roam. Kodo’s primal foundation-shaking rhythms and displays of muscular endurance astound and delight audiences of all ages. See a short video here: www.sonycentre.ca/
Experience the power and majesty of Taiko drumming as the internationally celebrated Kodo Drummers bring this ancient art form to Canada. The Toronto engagement comes during the North American leg of Kodo’s annual One Earth Tour that highlights Kodo’s message of global unity through rhythm.
