Collaborations are a large part of Consonare's season. This concert, a week after the tsunami in Japan, allowed us to celebrate Japan's culture in a very meaningful and exciting way. We looked for a collaboration between taiko and choir, and at the time, none existed. So, we commissioned a piece. Live in concert, the percussion rattled sternums and in video it still makes tears of joy well up in my eyes. Our native speakers helped Consonare bring 'Sakura' to authentic fruition!
