Dear Matsukawa Kyougaku Taiko Drummers,
Thank you so very much for performing in Telluride as a joint benefit for Koto, AHAN and the Michael D. Palm Theatre. The show was absolutely spectacular; I am still receiving comments about it. This was such a great cultural event for Telluride. All the people involved in your drumming group were a joy to work with. Perhaps we can do this again in the future!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Your friend in GREAT Entertainment

Matsukawa Kyougaku Taiko Drummers,
The performance by the Matsukawa Drummers presented by Nippon Kan at the Stage Theatre was one of the most exhilarating I have seen. As a theatre manager I have the opportunity to view many performances but seldom do I stay to watch entire shows. But that night I remained for the whole performance including the three encores. The energy, enthusiasm and skill of these performers is truly amazing, especially when one considers that they are all amateurs. They were able to create a wonderful rapport with the audience and generated both humor and emotion using no words at all. I would welcome them back to perform here in the future - and next time I would bring my family!

Best Regards,
