Side By Side features five World Premieres of new works by emerging composers from within the ensemble and Karlin Love – the winner of Taikoz’s 2020 Composer Competition.
In Side by Side the full expressivity of Taikoz is on show: the breathless chase of Kerryn Joyce’s Run!, Ryuji Hamada’s joyous The Island and the Sea, Ian Cleworth’s Mesmerising Horizon and awe-inspiring Awakening for odaiko trio, and Karlin Love’s dramatic Fierce: The Vengeance of Joy.
