Yamato: The Drummers of Japan

YAMATO's Taiko drumming is a unique blend of rhythm, movement, and energy that must be experienced to be fully understood. On stage, they stand with more than 40 Taiko drums, all of which have different characters. For example, their largest drum, Odaiko, was produced from a massive tree over 400 years old. They do not simply make their Taiko drums explode with sound; they produce delicate music that provides the listener with a palette of meticulously crafted sound.

Cherish the Ladies: A Celtic Christmas

"It is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn't enjoy what they do," says The Boston Globe speaking of Cherish the Ladies, the Grammy-nominated, Irish-American super group that formed in New York City in 1985 to celebrate the rise of extraordinary women in what had been a male-dominated Irish music scene. Since their first sold-out concert, they exploded onto the Irish music circuit, performing thousands of concerts around the globe, and are now among the busiest and most admired Irish groups on the planet. Their show is a wonderful blend of the old and the new.

The King's Singers: Christmas Time is Here

Since 1968, the King's Singers have been the epitome of excellence in a capella singing, gracing the world's most prestigious stages. Their extensive discography has led to numerous awards including two Grammy Awards, an Emmy Award, and a place in Gramophone magazine's inaugural Hall of Fame. The group formed when six choral scholars from King's College, Cambridge, gave a concert at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall. By chance, the group was made up of two counter-tenors, a tenor, two baritones, and a bass, and it has maintained this formation ever since that debut.
