Great Lakes Taiko Center (GLTC) 五大湖太鼓センター is an arts & culture collective in Southeast Michigan celebrating the empowering art of Japanese Taiko Drumming through education and performances since 2009. Taiko is rooted in the ancestral wisdom and cultural history of Japanese music traditions and continues to grow today as a global cultural arts movement that amplifies imagination, uplifts spirits, and builds community. Share in the joy of experiencing Taiko together with local members of the GLTC Taiko Arts Collective, including performers from Raion Taiko, Sazanami Taiko Arts Ensemble, and A2 Taiko Play community group.
