In 2014, members of the ensemble performed as part of “Ohtsuka daiko kazurakai” in the concert dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the school. “Miyabi-taiko” ensemble is a permanent participant of the International Music Festival “The Heart of Japan” of the Moscow Conservatory.
The “Miyabi-taiko” ensemble was formed in 2014 on the basis of the Japanese Taiko drum class of the Moscow Conservatory's art and scholarly center “World Music Cultures”. Moscow Conservatory's Taiko class was founded by the сreator of the “Ohtsuka daiko kazurakai” Taiko school, Ebato Michiko, in 2005. The name of the ensemble was given by Ebato-sensei herself.
