South Congregational Church in Kennebunkport will welcome ShinDaiko, a contemporary taiko ensemble based in Boston, for two outdoor performances on the River Green next to the church. The events are scheduled for 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 20.
The tradition of taiko drumming, according to a news release, spans thousands of years in Japan. As a contemporary ensemble, ShinDaiko performs many traditional drumming pieces, but also explores modern melodies and sounds with their multi-instrument roster of musicians, creating their own distinct melody. The result is a modern, dynamic style of Japanese drumming that combines music, movement, and performance art, all while exploring new ideas and concepts.
The two outdoor performances on Sunday July 20 are free and open to the public. The rain date is July 27.
South Congregational Church is located at 2 North St., Kennebunkport, next to the Post Office. For more information, visit www.shindaiko.com or contact South Church at info@southchurchucc.org.
