More about Ne-O Ensemble: Ne-O, pronounced "neh-oh" is written in Japanese as 音緒 or literally "sound chord," expressing the desire to bind the timbres and melodies of old Japan with the music of the world today. In Ne-O workshops, students practice drumming technique, ensemble playing, and develop an understanding of Japanese history and culture through music making. During a Ne-O concert experience, students are immersed as the musicians offer performances on the Japanese taiko (drum), fue (bamboo flute), shamisen (banjo) and koto (zither).
