JACKSON, Wyo. — Summer concert budget running dry? A free show is coming to the library!
The Teton County Library will host Peaceful Forest, a high-energy Japanese drumming group composed of world-renowned drummer Takumi Kato and his three children.
“Together, they aspire to deliver 1,000 shows across all 50 states over four years (wrapping up this fall) to promote peace and harmony,” the library’s event announcement states.
Taiko is the Japanese word for drum; the traditional drum performance will be followed by a Japanese lion dance, in which the “lion” engages audience members by pretending to bite people’s heads, meant to bring good luck and ward off evil.
Catch Peaceful Forest at noon on Wednesday, June 17, in the library’s Ordway Auditorium.
