The Kakehashi Project

A new commission from Collective Counterpoint for taiko soloist Kohtaro Yamakawa and composer Erika Oba, written for taiko and string orchestra. Premiering in 2026, the work bridges Japanese drumming traditions with the sound world of Western classical strings, creating a vibrant space for cultural exchange and artistic discovery.

What We Do

Collaborations — we partner with local musicians, artists, and community organizations to craft programs that celebrate connection and creativity.

New Commissions — we create opportunities for diverse voices by commissioning works that highlight cultural exchange and stories not often heard in classical music.

Summer at The Hidden Cafe — our signature outdoor concert series where neighbors, artists, and friends come together for a wide selection of music in a relaxed, open-air setting.
