OnEnsemble

April 26th a cultural treat
On Ensemble Taiko and more . . . 
 
The Festival is presenting On Ensemble - a "must see" concert - on Friday, April 26th, 8 pm, at Brodniak Hall. On Ensemble takes ancient instruments of taiko and makes them new by infusing them with elements of hip-hop, jazz, rock & new age electronics. On Ensemble has performed throughout the U.S. to sell-out crowds.
 
Tickets are $12 at brownpapertickets.com or $15 at the door. Children under 10 are free.   The Festival is also partnering with Anacortes School District to bring these performances to students. We would like to thank WESTAF and the National Endowment of the Arts for support of this program.
