Seattle Symphony: EO9066

Kaoru Ishibashi AKA Kishi Bashi, violin

Kaoru Ishibashi – Improvisations on EO9066

We mark the 80th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, which saw the internment of thousands of innocent Japanese Americans during the Second World War, indelibly changing their lives and our region — the effects of which are still felt today. Thomas Dausgaard is joined by Seattle-born composer/multi-instrumentalist Kishi Bashi in a heart-rending exploration of their story.

The concert will take place at 8pm.

Season subscription packages are now available. Individual ticket prices TBD.
