Thur, Oct 16- Sat, Oct 18, 2008, 8pm Forum

"stunning.. an extraordinary lexicon of vocal colors, tones and textures." - The Chicago Tribune.

How can life be changed? Or healed? San Francisco-based innovator Dohee Lee explores these metaphysical questions in an evocative new work integrating traditional korean performance with contemporrary music,movement and film. Born in korea and now immersed in the Bay Area's experimental art world, Lee is trained in shamanic ritual music and dance and korean percussion. Inspired by the ancient Chinese text I-Ching, or Book of Changes, Lee maps out the book's 64 symbolic hexagrams with a stunning integration of light design, imagery and movement. This YBCA commissioned work features the work of filmmaker and virtuoso bassist Tatsu Aoki; saxpohonist Francis Wong, Johathan Chen on violin and electronics, Jason Lewis on multiple percussion, dancer/choreographer Sherwood Chen and visual artist Thomas Wong.

Tatsu Aoki
Born in Japan into an artisan family, Tatsu Aoki began studies in the traditional Japanese performing arts at age 3. Upon arriving in the US in 1977, Aoki has become a leading advocate for Chicago's Asian American community and one of Chicago's most in-demand musicians on both contrabass, taiko (Japanese drums) and shamisen (Japanese lute). As founder and Executive Director of AIRMW, Aoki has initiated and managed several programs to advance the understanding of Asian American culture and community through the arts, including the Annual Chicago Asian American Jazz Festival and the JASC Tsukasa Taiko Legacy arts residency project. His work as an artist and educator in the cultural arts and as a leader in the Asian American community address as well as define the issues facing the community, including the need for quality artistic programs that reflect the Asian American experience.

Francis Wong
Few musicians are as accomplished as Francis Wong, considered one of "the great saxophonists of his generation" by the late jazz critic Phil Elwood. A prolific recording artist, Wong is featured on more than forty titles as a leader and sideman. For over two decades he has performed his innovative brand of Asian American jazz/creative music for audiences in North America, Asia, and Europe with such with such luminaries as Jon Jang, Tatsu Aoki, Genny Lim,William Roper, Bobby Bradford, John Tchicai, James Newton, Joseph Jarman, Don Moye and the late Glenn Horiuchi.
”I choose for my work to build community and to seek out how I, as an artist can meet the challenges that our community faces. In the Asian American community, the biggest challenge is continuity of culture and the impact of assimilation. Through music, I envision a way to create continuity through the integration of tradition and innovation.
