 Purchase, NY - The invigorating sounds of Yamato, The Drummers of Japan, resonate at The Performing Arts Center Purchase College at a concert on Friday, Dec. 7th at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $50, $40 and $30.
With a massive six-foot diameter drum made from a 400-year-old tree as their centerpiece, the highly skilled musicians of Yamato play dozens of drums of various sizes, blending phenomenally powerful and dramatic drumming with music of delicate beauty and humor. Athleticism, superhuman feats of coordination and incredible intensity are the trademarks of the irresistible ensemble.
"If you're looking for inspiring drumming and infectious dance rhythms, you'll be disappointed,” noted The Guardian of London, adding, “This is much, much more."
Yamato is part of this season’s World Stage Series at The Performing Arts Center. The series continues with the Moiseyev Dance Company (Jan.13th) and Angélique Kidjo (Apr. 4th).
