Name
Miggy Augmented Orchestra: Unbreakable Hope and Resilience Suite
Description
Japanese pianist and composer Migiwa "Miggy" Miyajima, a survivor of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, presents a deeply moving big band suite that weaves together jazz and narration. Inspired by her own experiences and interviews with survivors and volunteers, the work tells powerful stories of hope and resilience. Created with the support of the Jerome Hill Fellowship, the NYC Women’s Fund, and Culture Lab LIC Residency, this performance is a deeply personal reflection on humanity’s enduring strength in the face of adversity.
