MIDNIGHT TAIKO KAI
CALGARY'S JAPANESE DRUMMING GROUP
Due to COVID-19, Midnight Taiko Kai is suspending its performances, workshops and education activities until further notice.
WELCOME.
Welcome to the official website of Midnight Taiko – or Shinya Taiko Kai (深夜太鼓会) – a group of performance-based Japanese drummers located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Founded in 2006, we love to perform Japanese Taiko drumming at large, small, and private events in the Calgary area and hold classes and workshops throughout the year to share our passion for drumming with others.
Feel free to browse our website to learn more about the group history and members, upcoming performances and workshops, view our gallery and videos, and discover more about the Japanese art of Taiko drumming.
