  SHOWS | 2-4pm and 7-9pm</strong>\n<strong>University of Chicago's Logan C
 enter for the Arts</strong>\n<strong>915 E 60th St. 60637</strong>\n\nHo E
 tsu Taiko brings a passionate energy and lively spirit to the rich traditi
 on of taiko drumming. Ho Etsu means 'a way to spread joy'\, and this idea 
 centers our philosophy. We bring a bright\, energizing sound to the stage 
 to infuse taiko's cultural legacy with new vitality\, bridging the traditi
 on through fresh experiences and influences.&nbsp\;Ho Etsu formed in 1997 
 at the Midwest Buddhist Temple in Chicago's historic Old Town neighborhood
 . The original Midwest Buddhist Temple taiko group was the first ensemble 
 in Chicago\, born in the 1970s during the earliest wave of Japanese-Americ
 an taiko. From these deep roots\, Ho Etsu blossomed into one of the most d
 ynamic and exciting taiko ensembles in the city.\n\nThis July\, Ho Etsu Ta
 iko invites you to help us celebrate our 15th Anniversary. &nbsp\;Appropri
 ately named HANABI ('fireworks')\, this concert will introduce you to our 
 explosive sound and striking compositions. &nbsp\;In addition\, we are als
 o very excited to be joined on stage by one of our earliest mentors - Kiyo
 shi Nagata - and his Toronto-based professional taiko and music ensemble\,
  Nagata Shachu.\n\nHo Etsu finds great joy in learning\, studying and perf
 orming taiko and we can't wait to share our passion with you. Please join 
 us on July 28th at 2:00 PM and again at 7:00 PM as we commemorate our 15th
  anniversary!\n\nFor tickets\, please&nbsp\;<a title="http://www.brownpape
