JPA Performance 2025

On November 15, Soh Daiko had the honor of playing taiko at Japan Performing Arts, Inc.’s (JPA) Ages of Enchantment event at the Sharp Theater at Symphony Space on the Upper West Side, just down the street from the New York Buddhist Church.

The evening featured a beautiful array of Japanese performing arts—including Kabuki dance, Japanese harp, contemporary dance, a kimono fashion show, and Awa Odori—before Soh Daiko closed the program with our signature pieces, Matsuri Daiko and Hachidan-Uchi. We had an incredible time and were energized by the enthusiasm of the audience. Thank you all for coming out and supporting the event!

Soh Daiko was honored to perform alongside such talented groups, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to JPA Inc. for inviting us and for organizing a program that so vibrantly celebrates Japanese culture and the arts.

Soh Daiko performances are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
