出演者プロフィール

和楽器集団東
Azuma |
元鼓童の立石雷の呼びかけにより結成。日本伝統楽器である和太鼓、笛、箏、三味線を演奏する和楽器集団。2017年５月に旗揚げ公演を行い、仏教音楽・声明の発祥地と言われている京都大原勝林院での公演や、学校公演活動を行う。また2017年８月には、アメリカネバダ州で開催される7万人の世界最大のアートフェス「バーニングマン」にて、バーニングマン史上初、招待和楽器集団として演奏を行い、絶大な評価をえる。
演奏活動以外にも京都にて、訪日外国人に向けたワークショップを行うなど多岐に渡り活動中。

Formed by Rai Tateishi (former member of the renowned taiko group KODO), Azuma is a Japanese traditional music ensemble utilizing taiko (Japanese drums), shinobue (Japanese bamboo flute), koto and shamisen (Japanese strings) in their repertoire. Their debut concert in May 2017 received great acclamation and has been highly sought after since their acknowledgement. Azuma has performed at the Shorin-in Temple in Kyoto, the place known as where Buddhist music was born, and has been offering many school programs at local schools in the Kansai region. In August 2017, Azuma was invited as the first taiko group to perform at Burning Man, an art festival held every year in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada which left a great impression to the participants. Besides performing, Azuma also leads taiko workshops in Kyoto for tourists from overseas and actively involves its members with the community.

Yosuke became an apprentice at KODO in 1999 and was selected as one of the official members in 2003. He worked his way into becoming one of the leading members specializing in Miyake taiko and odaiko. In 2012, he began producing KODO concerts as well as composing many of the pieces. In 2013 and 2015 he starred in Kabuki Actor Tamasaburo Bando’s production, “Amaterasu”, and played the role of Susanoo to which he was highly praised for his performance and acting skills. In another production, “Konton”,
