Come savor food from Asia and the Mediterranean as you relax in the Southern California sunshine and enjoy the fellowship of your colleagues from around the nation.
You will also experience the dynamic, powerful and heart-stopping sounds of Taiko (Japanese drumming) as performed by Kishin Daiko, a multi-ethinic, multi-generational Taiko group from Southern California. Kishin Daiko’s music consists of traditional Japanese Taiko pieces and adaptations of traditional pieces, along with original compositions by contemporary musicians, and Kishin Daiko members.
Although Kishin Daiko’s performances are usually focused in Southern California, they have had the opportunity to tour Japan to perform and study Taiko. Some of their performance highlights include: The Los Angeles Philharmonic 75th Anniversary at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion; The World Cup Soccer Celebration at Universal Studios; the United Nations’ Blue Sky Project at Paramount Studios; The Super Bowl XXXII Pre Game; and Michelle Kwan Day. The International Welcome Dinner is Sunday, June 10 from 5:00pm-6:45pm.
