Miyamoto ConcertSaturday, April 27, 7 p.m.
Pigott Auditorium

Nobuko Miyamoto’s 120,000 Stories is a multi-generational journey with stories that address issues such as race, gender, multiculturalism and climate change. Miyamoto is an iconic dancer, creative artist and activist, who will be presenting an intimate concert through storytelling of her amazing life. She will be accompanied by music director Derek Nakamoto and guest artists Chic Street Man and Francis Wong.

Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple is grateful to Miyamoto for presenting this concert, hosted by Seattle University as a fundraiser for the Seattle Betsuin Arson Fire Restoration Fund.

On New Year’s Eve, SU's neighbors at the Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple were victimized by arson. The damage was significant, including the loss of an invaluable archive. It will be many months before they can open again and the costly repairs have begun. Donations from this event will go directly to support the repairs.
