Rothko Chapel: 2026 Summer Solstice Observance with Kaminari Taiko

Join us at the Rothko Chapel for a day of reflection, renewal, and cross-cultural music honoring the longest day of the year. Kaminari Taiko of Houston closes the evening with a powerful Japanese drumming performance rooted in centuries of tradition. Founded in 1996 by Jay Mochizuki, the ensemble blends dynamic rhythm with cultural storytelling and spiritual symbolism. Trained under renowned Taiko masters including Seiichi Tanaka and Kenny Endo, Kaminari Taiko continues to share the energy, discipline, and spirit of Taiko with audiences across Houston and beyond.
