Mondavi Center Presents
Yamato
人の力 Hito no chikara

The word performance can’t fully describe the experience that is Yamato. It’s “physical music” that’s been celebrated the world over.
This Japanese Taiko drumming group looms (and booms) large, with more than 40 Taiko drums on stage representing different characters. Yamato does more than simply make their Taiko drums explode; they produce delicate music that gives the listener a palette of meticulously crafted sound. At once intense, then sad and even comforting and comical, you’re more than a bystander when you experience Yamato. You’re engulfed in the sound of the Taiko, becoming one with the performers.
Run time is approximately 2 hours with an intermission
