TaikOz
in Daha .... Pounding Wave

Tuesday 8 August -- 8pm
Wednesday 9 August -- 1.30pm and 8pm
Alexander Theatre

Artistic Director -- Ian Cleworth

Featuring -- Shakuhachi Soloist -- Riley Lee

After the sell out season at the Alexander Theatre in 2004 TaikOz returns with their highly charged physical percussion performance. TaikOz combines the awesome power of the traditional Japanese taiko drums with the ethereal tones of the bamboo shakuhachi, to explore a synthesis of sounds from east and west, old and new.

"High energy action... hand and drumstick seem almost to melt into each other in a perfect synergy of man and instrument."
The Australian

"TaikOz astound and mesmerise with its musicianship. TaikOz show what cross-cultural collaboration at its best can achieve. No wonder the show finished with a standing ovation."
Courier Mail

Riley Lee of TaikOz tells all about the unique 'dance of the drums' that is TaikOz - hear a sneak preview by visiting the Radio Monash website.
