While visiting to perform her private Class Acts show for local school-age children, Kuniko has graciously offered to lead this exclusive Japanese Tea Ceremony. This special fundraiser supports the Rozsa Class Acts Endowment Fund, ensuring future performing arts opportunities for local kids and youth in our community.

The Experience:

Part storytelling, part lecture, and part musical performance, Kuniko shares the fascinating connections between Zen, Samurai, and Tea. This presentation includes a slow, thoughtful traditional tea service where each guest will be served a specialty Japanese green tea. The 30 minute ceremony is followed by a Q&A with Kuniko Yamamoto.

Each reservation includes the tea ceremony, a direct donation to the Rozsa Class Acts Endowment Fund, and a custom take-home tea cup handcrafted for this event by local artist Kenyon Hansen.

Capacity is limited to 50 participants to maintain an intimate atmosphere.
