Mountain River Taiko is so excited to share our 10th Anniversary Concert with you!

Some important updates and reminders:

Tiffany Tamaribuchi unable to attend :(

Unfortunately, Tiffany Tamaribuchi is unable to participate in our show due to illness. Tiffany has been a dedicated and supportive mentor to MRT throughout our existence, and we are very sad to miss this opportunity to share the stage with her. Still, we will play our hearts out and make her proud! We are so grateful that Stuart Paton, founder and director of Burlington Taiko, has agreed to step in in her stead. Stuart is an accomplished taiko artist and performer (in fact, he and Tiffany studied together under Grandmaster Seiichi Tanaka of San Francisco Taiko Dojo) and has been playing taiko for over 38 years. His style combines movement, rhythm, voice, and the efficient and graceful movement of chi, or "energy," from the player to the drum. We are honored to have Stuart as part of our big anniversary.

Food options

It looks like it will be a beautiful day-- perfect weather for a delicious popsicle as you enjoy the music! Crooked Stick Pops will be on-site with tasty popsicles made with healthy, local ingredients. We are grateful to Julie for coming to provide these tasty pops for our show! Please feel free to bring a picnic with you to the venue as well, and enjoy the fair weather.

Ticketing & Merchandise

Please be advised that there aren't any 'tickets' to be scanned at the door; we will have a list of names of those who have purchased tickets ahead of time. However, if you (or someone you know) purchase a ticket on Saturday, it would expedite the process if you can show the purchase confirmation email. We will also have merch available for sale-- commemorative tees and stickers with our special 10th anniversary design (Original design by Mollie Davis).Tickets and merchandise will be available for purchase on-site by cash or check ONLY. If you wish to pay by card, please navigate to the ticket purchase website to buy tickets or merch.

Seating at the venue is not provided

Just a reminder that seating will not be provided at the venue; the audience area is a well-tended grassy lawn. Please feel free to bring blankets, lawn chairs, or whatever you need to be comfortable at this outdoor event.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions, or check our website for updates.

We can't wait to celebrate with you!
