The Oregon Science Festival is a five day event that culminates in a two-day celebration at OMSI. Portland Taiko will perform Saturday, September 13th at 11 am and 1 pm.

Visit OMSI’s website for  complete list of vendors and exhibitors.

Portland Taiko is honored to perform at Lan Su Chinese Garden’s 25th Anniversary Community Celebration Day. The celebration will be Sunday the 14th and Portland Taiko will perform at 4:00 pm. 

Lan Su Chinese Garden is located at 239 NW Everett St. in Portland. In the videos below, Lan Su supporters Anne Naito-Campbell and Raynette Yoshida talk about what Lan Su Chinese Garden means to them, to our local community and to visitors from around the world.

Gaman is a Japanese word often translated as “inner strength.” Our forebears endured famine, the Great Depression, back-breaking labor, discrimination, and unjust incarceration in internment camps. They embraced the spirit of gaman—persevering with dignity and patience. With steadfast determination, they worked to build a better future.

We honor their legacy and aspire to carry that spirit forward. Join us for our fall concert, Gaman: Past and Present, at PSU’s College of the Arts, Lincoln Performance Hall.

Because last year’s fall concert sold out quicky, we have two shows this year:

• Saturday, October 11th at 7:00 PM
• Sunday, October 12th at 2:00 PM

Our special guest this year is the Minidoka Swing Band.
