"Soul of the City" is a captivating live-filmed performance celebrating San Francisco's Asia America roots. Follow a storyteller's journey through traditional Japanese theater, spoken word, and Asian American Jazz, crafted by Brenda Wong Aoki and others. Join us at the Presidio Theatre for this profound exploration of the city's vibrant spirit.
Since 1976 Brenda Wong Aoki and Mark Izu have played a central role in the evolution of Asian American Art. They founded First Voice in 1997, with a mission to create, present and contribute the stories and music of people living between worlds. Critical to this mission is 'personal experience' or 'voice' - essential to the authentic representation of the people of the United States.
