OMNY Taiko Drummers Perform in Tannersville and Windham
HUNTER – The Catskill Mountain Foundation and the Windham Foundation present performances by OMNY Taiko Drummers on Sunday, June 29 at 3:00 PM at the Orpheum Performing Arts Center in Tannersville, and on Friday, July 4 at 2:00 PM at the Windham Civic Center in Windham. OMNY Taiko has performed on the Mountain Top for many years, teaching workshops and growing their supportive community.
OMNY Taiko, led by Eyal Bar-David, JJ Delserra and Crystal Lau, is a vibrant, tight-knit community drumming group striving to share the art of taiko drumming with people and communities across the New York City area through inclusive, accessible performances, classes, and workshops.
As a form of rhythmic and artistic expression, taiko allows individuals to convey emotion and energy, and to connect with others through music.
OMNY Taiko emphasizes the communal aspect of ensemble drumming: bringing people together to create music as a group, fostering a sense of community and belonging, and providing opportunities for collaboration and teamwork.
Beginner workshops are available to adults and children ages 9 and above at the Mountain Top Library in Tannersville on Monday, June 30 and Tuesday, July 1 from 2 – 3:30 PM on both days. OMNY Taiko will teach a traditional art form in a modern way, providing an afternoon of movement, rhythmic expression and camaraderie.
OMNY Taiko will perform on Sunday, June 29 at 3:00 PM at the Orpheum Performing Arts Center in Tannersville, and on Friday, July 4 at 2:00 PM at the Windham Civic Center. The performance in Windham on July 4 is free.
