New projects include digital archiving, YouTube videos, regional gatherings, a new event calendar, and a 50th anniversary song commission. CAC funds will improve TCA’s communications and administrative infrastructure to increase effectiveness of these activities.

Organization Summary

The North American Taiko Conference is TCA’s largest program. The goal of this gathering is to share the art form, enhance players’ understanding of context, foster group development, and strengthen networks. Other TCA programs include educational videos and webinars, mentorship, regional connections, supportive marketing, and the collection and stewardship of taiko-related data. Although TCA is a membership organization, programs are available to anyone who is interested, regardless of membership status.
