“Rising Tides” is a full-length concert featuring new solo, duet, and ensemble performances by a group of Bay Area performers of Japanese traditional music and performing arts. The work will be presented at Chevron Auditorium on March 21, 2026 and will include performances with instruments such as Taiko (Japanese drumming), shakuhachi flute and western flute, and will be followed by a community reception with members of the AAPI and Japanese traditional music community.

We are asking for donations to help with the production costs for the concert.

For more information on the performances please check out our website.

The title “Rising Tides” derives from the saying “With the tide, all boats rise,” describing how the waves of the AAPI Bay Area community allows Japanese traditional music to survive and grow. Our objective is to celebrate the music and community in the San Francisco Bay Area, bringing members and allies of the AAPI community together. From this event, we hope to celebrate the ongoing legacy of traditional music in the Bay Area and create an environment for the next generation to rise.
