On Saturday October 25th, Soh Daiko started off our 47th year by performing during the New York Buddhist Church’s Aki Matsuri (Autumn Festival)!
After perusing the crafts and delicious treats that were sold upstairs, a happy crowd flooded the basement dojo of the NYBC. It was the largest Aki Matsuri audience we’ve had in recent years and we were so appreciative of the energy and encouragement from the audience. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces — former members and long-time supporters who have cheered us on through the years, along with people seeing their first taiko performance! All of your support means the world to us!
Soh Daiko performed Miyake Daiko and Tsunagu to welcome the changing of the season, and were met with enthusiastic, engaging spectators with thoughtful questions. There’s nothing we love more than sharing our music and spirit with all of you.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes towards NYBC, which has been our home for the past 47 years. Without their continued support, we would not be the performing group we are today. The NYBC has many other fun events and festivals, learn more here: THE NEW YORK BUDDHIST CHURCH – New York City, NY
