Making noise since 1998, Senryu Taiko is the fourth intercollegiate taiko group to ever form in the United States. Self-taught and self-substained, the club continues the tradition of kumidaiko by writing music together, teaching incoming members, and forming ties with other collegiate taiko groups across the nation.
The 2005-06 school year was the first time that UCR undertook the tremendous task of hosting the Intercollegiate Taiko Invitational, an annual event now in its sixteenth year which brings together almost 200 college-age taiko players for one weekend of pure taiko in the form of performance, socializing, and workshops.
*Note, the UCR Taiko Ensemble is the class that occurs every quarter with Rev. Tom Kurai, not Senryu Taiko!
