Whatcom Chorale presents Lest We Forget

Lest We Forget a heartbreaking chapter in U.S. history, Whatcom Chorale reprises Sarah Mattox’s exquisite Heart Mountain Suite. In the words of Kara Kondo, 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, November 22 at 5:00 pm and Sunday, November 23 at 3:00 pm. Tickets available from a Chorale singer or on our website.
