Drum-Tao is a breathtaking spectacle of controlled frenzy, melding the epic, ancient sounds of the Japanese taiko drum with colorful costumes, contemporary music, and acrobatic dance moves drawn from martial arts. An explosive, youthful, vibrantly modern take on a traditional art from — and a visual and sonic tour-de-force!Barrage is a high-octane fiddle-fest that The Denver Post calls "too wow for words!" It routinely wins comparisons to Riverdance and has been called "Stomp with fiddles," but this breathtaking, high-powered show is completely unique. Barrage mixes a generous sampling of traditional world fiddle music - from Irish jigs to gypsy music to Caribbean folk - with pulsating, modern beats and layered vocal arrangements, all performed by its hip, dynamic, eye-catching cast of young virtuosos, who play and sing and dance with seemingly inexhaustible abandon. "This amazing show, ideal for the whole family, is abouth as blithe, blissful and beguiling as entertainment gets!" (Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune).
