Whatcom Chorale presents Lest We Forget

Whatcom Chorale is reprising Sarah Mattox’s exquisite Heart Mountain Suite, based on the diaries of Kara Kondo. In her words, we give voice to the unbroken spirit of over 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly rounded up and incarcerated during WWII. Scott Henderson’s arrangements of carols by Japanese children and Sondheim’s “No One Is Alone” complete the program. This concert features Metropolitan Opera mezzo soprano Kimberly Sogioka, violinist Laura Camacho, flutists Debbie Arthur and Martin Bray, pianist Emily Perry, and Kay Reilly on percussion and marimba. There will be two performances: Saturday, Nov 22 at 5:00pm and Sunday, Nov 23 at 3:00pm. Tickets available at Village Books and on our website.
