TAIKOZ presents CRIMSON SKY Featuring Satsuki Odamura, koto
aka-tombo red dragonflies sarasara nagaru flowing like a ripple akane-zora toward the crimson sky
Australia's world-acclaimed taiko drumming ensemble, TaikOz, returns to City Recital Hall Angel Place to present the world premiere of a stunning new work. Based on a haiku by Japanese poet Miura Yuzuru, Toward the Crimson Sky has been written by TaikOz Artistic Director Ian Cleworth, evoking the poem's sensual, dramatic and often playful imagery of a cloud of dragonflies ascending into a deep red sky. The thunderous drumming of the taiko is interwoven with the hypnotic melodies of the shakuhachi and shinobue bamboo flutes, voice and a rare performance on the bass koto, a traditional Japanese 17-stringed plucked instrument to be played by a special guest artist Satsuki Odamura. The program will also feature new works by the two youngest TaikOz members: from the peaceful meditation of Solace by Tom Royce-Hampton to the dynamic high energy of Exploration by Anton Lock. Ian Cleworth's crowd favourite Ota.i.ko will also make a welcome return. This joyous and fast-paced work will feature the spectacle of eleven taiko drummers taking to the stage with TaikOz joined by the members of Taiko no Wa, TaikOz's ensemble of students.
