One Heart, One Beat

Overview

For years, the Kodo Taiko Performing Arts Ensemble has been spreading the magic of Japanese "taiko" drumming to the world. It's a small group made up of 30 members. This spring, 9 young men and women joined the Kodo Apprentice Center, each hoping to become a professional taiko performer. During 2 years of communal living, they will learn the importance of joining their hearts together, a concept that is absolutely crucial to creating harmony. However, only a handful can become official members of the group, so creating "one heart" and "one sound" is not such an easy task. Will the young aspiring drummers come together to beat as one?
