Featuring a special presentation of To-shihun (Tu Tze-chun): A Musical Drama Narrated By George Takei
Co-Sponsored by Yamaha Corporation of America and the Japanese American National Museum

Join us for a performance by the Nishikawa Ensemble, an acclaimed Japanese chamber Music group. Led by Kohei Nishikawa, one of Japan's most accomplished players of both Japanese and Western flutes, the group will perform a program that uniquely incorporates both traditional Japanese instruments such as the shinobe, nokkan, biwa, with Western instruments such as the flute and piano. Thirteen year-old Yamaha student, Jonathan Takahashi, will perform his original composition with Mr. Nishikawa.

The second half of the concert will feature the musical drama, To-shishun (Tu Tze-chun), an ancient fable of one man's journey to personal happiness. Narrated by actor George Takei, this gripping tale will unfold against a live soundtrack performed by the Nishikawa Ensemble. Please call 213.625.0414 for reservations. Members $5, non-members $8, includes National Museum admission. Seating is limited.
