Join us at the Vibiana on April 6 for "Illuminating Paths," JANM's premier gathering that bridges our past and future. This remarkable evening not only showcases a special performance by Kishi Bashi but also features the vibrant rhythms of East LA Taiko, creating a memorable experience of celebration and reflection. We'll honor Duncan Ryuken Williams and Sunyoung Lee for their contributions to the Irei project, alongside David Ono for Defining Courage, highlighting the impact of their work on our community and beyond.
The night promises an exquisite dining experience curated by Chef Neal Fraser, alongside a hosted bar, and an exclusive after-party available to select sponsors.
