GUEST TEACHER WORKSHOPS

Katsuji Kondo

One of the most well-established and respected taiko teachers in Japan – Katsuji Kondo – will be running special one-off workshops at the Dojo. Katsuji Kondo is the former lead player of the Kodo Drummers, who in February thrilled audiences throughout the UK during their world tour. Katsuji Kondo joined Ondekoza, the fore-runner of Kodo in 1976, training in taiko drums, tsugaru shamisen (three-stringed Japanese lute), folk dance and song. With Kodo, he toured throughout the world, performing over 1200 concerts in over 20 countries. In 1993 he left Kodo to pursue a career as a solo player and teacher, and is currently one of the most sought-after taiko masters.
