太鼓芸能集団鼓童と関西圏の３高校和太鼓部（奈良商工高・京都橘高・芥川高）の合同演奏会が2024年6月9日（日）に高槻市のトリシマホールで行われた。
On Sunday, June 9, 2024, the taiko performing arts group KODO and three high school taiko clubs from the Kansai region (Nara Shoko High School, Kyoto Tachibana High School, and Akutagawa High School) held a joint concert at Takatsuki Torishima Hall.
前半は鼓童の演奏、後半が3高校の演奏、そして最後には鼓童と3高校の部員が鼓童提供楽曲の”遥か”を合同で演奏した。
The first half of the concert featured a performance by KODO, the second half featured performances by the three high schools, and the final performance featured a joint performance of “Haruka,” a piece provided by KODO, and members of the three high schools.
芥川高校は、鼓童提供楽曲は”春風”を、そしてオリジナル曲は”深紅の恋”を演奏した。
鼓童の格調高い芸術的で緻密な演奏と、高校生たちの若さ溢れるパワフルな演奏のコントラストが面白かった。高校生たちは鼓童と同じ舞台で演奏し、憧れの鼓童からたくさんのことを学ぶことができた。鼓童のパワーが高校生たちを元気づけた。
Akutagawa High School performed “Shunpuu” a KODO piece, and “Crimson Love,” an original piece.
The contrast between the KODO's elegant, artistic, and precise performance and the high school students' youthful, powerful performance was interesting. The high school students were able to perform on the same stage as KODO and learn a lot from their idols. The power of KODO energized the high school students.
