May Day has been a tradition on the Ambler Campus since it was the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women. This year we celebrate that tradition with a live-streamed taiko drumming performance from KyoDaiko of Philadelphia. This special program will be held on Saturday, May 1 from 6 to 7 p.m. A rain date scheduled for Saturday, May 8.
KyoDaiko is a Philadelphia-based, community taiko group founded in 2005. All members are volunteers who perform for the love of the art and the energy that the great drums give them. The group performs regularly at a wide range of venues from school and community events, to Phillies games, Japanese festivals and more unusual settings like roller derbies! KyoDaiko offers regular taiko classes and can be hired for events, workshops and team-building activities.
Join us for talks and workshops highlighting sustainability, women’s influence in horticulture and the healing power of plants during this monthly speaker series. Information: kathleen.salisbury@temple.edu or 267-468-8400.
This program is part of the Ambler Arboretum Speaker Series and is offered in a pay-what-you-can format to work toward creating equitable access to all of our programs.
You will receive the Zoom link to virtually attend this concert if you donate to the Ambler Arboretum or any Ambler Campus fundraiser between now and Friday, April 30.
