KNOXVILLE — The infectious sounds of traditional Japanese Taiko drumming are beating into downtown Knoxville on April 7, with TAO: The Martial Art of Drumming.
     The performance takes place at 7:30 p.m. at the Bijou Theatre. Tickets are available to students for $5 with a valid UT ID, $20 for UT faculty and staff, and $25 for the general public.
     Tickets are available at the University Center Central Ticket Office, Thompson-Boling Arena Ticket Office, online at http://www.knoxvilletickets.com, or by phone at (865) 656-4444. A convenience charge may be added. Tickets are also available at the venue on the evening of the performance.  
     Parking is available in the State Street, Market Square and Locust Street garages. Parking is free after 6 p.m.
     The group's contemporary costumes and meticulously synchronized choreography with a vibrant, modern twist combine to make an exciting show.
      The performers live and train at a compound in the mountains of Japan, reaching the highest level of virtuosity only after years of intensive study. However, the performers each bring nontraditional flair to the group by drawing on their diverse backgrounds as a hard rock musician, a gymnast and a composer.
