Rhythmic Relations 2026

Sat / June 20 - 5 pm
Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center
Eli & Edythe Broad Stage

We are excited to announce that we will be taking our annual summer home concert out west to Santa Monica, to the beautiful Broad Stage this year! Join us for a spectacular evening of taiko music with our sister groups, Bombu Taiko and Kitsune Taiko, in a brand new and intimate venue. We will be presenting a number of new works and updated arrangements of old favorites, including numerous pieces that were not performed at our 25th Anniversary concert program last year.

Tickets are on sale at: https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/tix/7915
