Experience a groundbreaking fusion of jazz and theater in UNBREAKABLE HOPE AND RESILIENCE, a deeply moving suite based on real-life interviews with survivors and volunteers of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Created by Migiwa "Miggy" Miyajima, a New York-based award-winning composer and six-time Grammy-nominated producer, this work captures what hope and resilience look like in our real lives through the power of music and performance.
This suite brings together world-class jazz musicians from New York and accomplished actors from the city's vibrant theater scene, seamlessly connected under the Miyajima’s direction.
Selected as part of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Women’s Month, this concert is one of only three performances this March to be streamed live globally.
