Some of Silicon Valley’s most talented percussionists will be pounding on very big drums this weekend as a part of the Stanford Taiko Spring Concert. The university’s 18-piece resident taiko ensemble has prepared a brand new show to celebrate the season. Titled “Wavebreak,” the concert will feature new arrangements from the group’s current repertoire, along with three new compositions. Stanford Taiko will also share the stage with student a cappella group Talisman for a special collaboration. Combined, the two groups boast a legacy of more than 50 years of telling stories through music. (YK)
