Listening Across Time: Creativity, Connection and Being Human
Hosted by American Friends of the International House of Japan
Co-host: International House of Japan
Music has the remarkable power to transcend borders, generations, and cultures, reminding us of our shared humanity. Join us for a special cross-Pacific conversation exploring how creativity and the arts foster empathy, resilience, and deeper human connection in an increasingly complex world.
Featuring internationally acclaimed ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro, violinist and Shining Blue Dot founder Eiko Kano, and Tony Mazzocchi, President & CEO of Kaufman Music Center in New York City, this engaging discussion will examine the role of music and cultural exchange in bringing people together across time and place. David Janes of the International House of Japan will moderate this conversation.
