Mercury Soul

What a night 🌟

A sold-out Saint Joseph’s Arts Society filled with DJs, strings, brass, opera, taiko, ballet, immersive visuals, and an audience that embraced every moment of it.

Mercury Soul has always been about bringing different musical worlds together, and on Friday it felt like something special happened. Thank you to all of the artists, crew, volunteers, partners, and audience members who made this night possible.

It may have been our best show yet.

This dynamic Bay Area taiko ensemble brings an electrifying blend of tradition, innovation, and collective energy to the stage. Drawing from both Japanese and American influences, Jiten Daiko creates performances that are powerful, rhythmic, and impossible to ignore.

Their name, Jiten, means “self-powered,” reflecting the group’s commitment to collaboration, community, and artistic exploration.

Three years ago, Mercury Soul transformed Saint Joseph’s Arts Society into an epic and ethereal dance party. Immersive projections lit the walls while DJs, strings, and brass filled the space with electrifying energy. The event sold out in advance and it remains one of our favorite Mercury Soul nights ever. Until now…

On June 5, expect even more breathtaking visuals, DJ sets, live classical performances, principal dancers from San Francisco Ballet, Taiko drumming, and much more. Grab a cocktail and explore this gorgeous venue as you journey from the dance floor to classical masterpieces and back again.
