Inspired by autobiographical accounts of the incarceration of Japanese-American citizens in World War II, Lost Freedom: A Memory weaves together music and spoken word in a profound exploration of a chilling time in American history. Actor, author, and activist, George Takei (Star Trek), narrates his own story as one of the citizens forced from their homes and made to live in desolate camps thousands of miles away. Set to music by Oregon composer Kenji Bunch, this poignant program will also include music by Oregon’s Japanese-American composer/percussionist Andy Akiho.
As the final notes of Soovin Kim's violin fade and George Takei's narratives echo in the minds of the audience, these events remind us of the power of art and storytelling. Chamber Music Northwest has seamlessly woven together a program that celebrates artistic mastery while offering profound reflections on history and culture. Attendees are left both entertained and enlightened, carrying with them a deeper appreciation for the stories and music that shape our world.
