*NEW* Member Rewards!

As a non-profit organization, Kaminari Taiko has always relied on the generosity of people who love and support the arts and Japanese culture in Houston. We can always use extra help funding our charitable work with schools, cultural groups, and organizations for children with disabilities.

This year, for the first time, we are able to offer rewards to folks who donate to Kaminari Taiko. It's our way of thanking you for allowing us to continue bringing the joy of taiko to audiences in Houston and across the country.

How it Works

As a Kaminari Taiko Supporting Member, you will receive year-round benefits, like an email newsletter with updates on Kaminari events and invitations to some of Kaminari Taiko's private events. The more generous your support, the more benefits you'll receive -- think public radio.

Membership Levels

Supporting Members at all levels receive the following benefits:
  • Subscription to a bi-monthly newsletter detailing Kaminari's latest activities, including bonus photos and video that we don't post to the website.
  • Recognition on our website and in the Grand Taiko Concert program as a supporter of Kaminari Taiko. You can be listed anonymously if you prefer.
