DESCRIPTION:3rd Taiko-Awakening the Spirit Retreat 2008\nSeptember 26-28\, 
 2008 at the Shumei International Institute in Crestone\, Colorado.\n\nWhat
  is Taiko drum? Why do we play? What can we learn through drumming? These 
 are basic themes\, however\, many don't think about it profoundly. We want
  to provide the opportunity for Taiko drummers to share their philosophy a
 nd spirituality\, as well as their songs and skills- KOJI NAKAMURA\n\nThre
 e faculty members were members of ONDEKOZA\, the internationally famous an
 d pioneering taiko group. Koji Nakamura got his start in Taiko 25 years ag
 o learning the shime ropes from the late Tagayasu Den. Tiffany Tamaibuchi 
 was invited to perform with Za Ondekoza in 1993 and stayed through 1996. A
 s a member\, she performed at Carnegie Hall in 1994. Marco Lienhard was wi
 th Ondekoza from 1981 to 1994. During this time\, he also studied shakuhac
 hi\, fue\, and nohkan and became a virtuoso solo performer.\n\nEvents star
 t with a concert on Friday night September 26 at Adams State College in Al
 amosa\, Colorado. Retreat faculty members will put on a show featuring the
  music of ONDEKOZA. Admission to the concert is included in tuition. Publi
 c tickets are available also.\n\nWe are adding instruction and demos with 
 other instruments. In addition to being a fabulous taiko player\, Marco Li
 enhard is renowned for his shakuhachi and fue work. If the demand is there
 \, Marco will teach fue. Also\, Yukiko Matsuyama will give demonstrations 
 of koto. Koto players in the US are even harder to find than fue players.\
