Columbia University Fall Taiko Festival / Transformational Conference - Saturday, November 10, 2018

On November 10, NYTAK had a busy Saturday, performing in not one, but 2 performances! The first was the afternoon performance at the Transformational Conference, hosted by NYTAK’s sponsor Dr. Victoria Marsick, Department of Organization and Leadership at TC.

It was a tiring but rewarding day for all. Thanks to all the volunteers, performers and especially the organizers!
