JIGU! Thunder Drums of China
School Group Performance
 

Friday, April 13, 2007 at 10:00 AM
Beckman Auditorium
$5 per person

 

Hailing from China's Shanxi province, this world-reknowned company of 28 drummers, percussionists and musicians astounds audiences with an ultra-sensory entertainment experience. In Chinese, "jigu" means to "beat or touch the drum," and performances are deeply rooted in folk origins, which are blended with many modern musical elements.

It's a fascinating, totally new show concept. You'll not only see and hear the action; you'll actually feel the intense sound!

Recommended for grades K-12
