NEW@NIGHT: George Takei’s “Lost Freedom: A Memory” at Alberta Rose Theatre

Following its sold-out performance at Portland Japanese Garden last year, CMNW is thrilled to share Oregon composer/violist Kenji Bunch and George Takei’s Lost Freedom: A Memory once again, for a larger audience.

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. Classical and Broadway star Christòpheren Nomura narrates Takei’s story, detailing the plight of American citizens forced from their homes and incarcerated in desolate prison camps thousands of miles away. This special evening of new music and conversation will also include recent works by Steven Banks, Paul Wiancko, and Giovanni Sollima.
