 ko: Founded in 1994\, Portland Taiko was the first professional taiko (Jap
 anese drum performance) ensemble in the Pacific Northwest\, and has been a
  strong artistic presence in Portland and beyond for seventeen years. Port
 land Taiko pushes the boundaries of taiko expression by integrating contem
 porary sound\, modern and folk dance movement\, and world music with tradi
 tional taiko rhythms. Artistic Director Michelle Fujii\, Executive Directo
 r Michael Griggs\, and Producing Director Teresa Enrico now lead the compa
 ny\, which performs annually for over 50\,000 people locally and nationall
 y in concerts\, community performances\, and tour engagements.&amp;nbsp\;  Por
 tland Taiko also offers studio classes\, school programs\, and community e
 ducational work to students of all ages.
