Portland Taiko presents: Gaman Past and Present
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Gaman is a Japanese word often translated as “inner strength.” Japanese forebears embraced the spirit of gaman — enduring the Great Depression, back-breaking labor and incarceration in internment camps. With patience and dignity, they built a better future.
At the upcoming concert, honor their legacy and aspire to carry forward the spirit of gaman. Please join Gaman: Past and Present, at PSU’s Lincoln Performance Hall with special guest The Minidoka Swing Band.
Last year’s concert sold out quickly. This year, there will be two performances.
This event is supported by the City of Portland Office of Arts and Culture and the Arts Access Fund.
