Filled with color, sound and emotion, be musically transformed into the world of bugs with rare Japanese stringed instruments, woodwinds and costumes. Feel the flutter of wings and the attack of a bug’s stinger through dance movements and the beat of taiko drums.

Stepping out of the box, in eek! peek! Somei Yoshino Taiko Ensemble will again kidnap their audience to another place- that mysterious place where bugs commune.

“… the musicians sliced space and made it tingle . . . The drummers channeled energy with adventurous vigor, they sent it out, welcomed it back, built on it and made a moving art form in the process.”
- Los Angeles Times

“Somei Yoshino Taiko Ensemble has never been afraid to push the boundaries...SYTE brings all of this to life with a delicacy of touch and a deliberate exploration of dynamics. They allow the music to breathe when needed, yet don't forget the thundering power of taiko at their command.”
- David Leong, Rolling Thunder
