The WOMEN’S DRUM CENTER is renowned for its extraordinary annual concerts featuring world percussion. We are overjoyed to offer our annual concert at the Buetow Music Center Auditorium on the campus of Concordia University on Saturday, Nov 4th, at 7 pm. With powerful performances from Women Who Groove, Djembe Diyamu, Taikollaborative, special guest Earthtone Chorus, and our premier ensemble, drumHeart, the concert always proves to be a "must-see."
Gahu will be our crowning showcase finale under the direction of Karin Rau, a renowned World Music Instructor. Gahu will feature all ensembles, and include a dynamic dance performance.
