  TRAILER: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RllKgqsHJw

  After the multi awarded Moriyama San, Tokyo Ride is a new step of Bêka & Lemoine’s immersion within Tokyo’s busy daily life. Revisiting the genre of the road movie in a very diaristic and personal way, the film takes us on board of Ryue Nishizawa’s vintage Alfa Romeo for a day long wandering in the streets of Tokyo.

  The Japan-America Society of Georgia is pleased to present a special lecture highlighting the unique role art plays in US-Japan relations featuring a behind the scenes look into Katsushika Hokusai and his iconic woodblock prints. Join us for a special evening with Dr. Sarah Thompson, Curator of Japanese Art at The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) — home of the largest and finest collection of Japanese art outside Japan – as she discusses the Art of Hokusai and the MFA collection, the impact of Hokusai on Western Art, and a look ahead to the upcoming 2023 Hokusai exhibit. The in-person event will be held at The High Museum’s Hill Auditorium and a virtual program will be held via Zoom and YouTube Live.  This program is part of the Richard J. Wood Art Curator Series, which is supported, in part, by an award from the National Association of Japan America Societies with funds from the Japan-United States Friendship Commission.

  Sarah E. Thompson is a curator of Japanese art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, one of four curators working with the largest collection of Japanese art outside Japan.  With degrees in linguistics from Harvard and Japanese art from Columbia, she taught Japanese and Asian art history at Vassar College, Oberlin College, and the University of Oregon before moving to the MFA in 2004.  Her currently specialty is Japanese prints; she has created an online digital catalogue of the MFA’s collection of over 50,000 Japanese prints, and has curated numerous exhibitions at the MFA and elsewhere, including a Hokusai retrospective at the MFA in 2015 and “Tattoos in Japanese Prints” at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco from May to August of this year. Her most recent book is _Hokusai’s Landscapes: The Complete Series_ (MFA Publications, 2019)

  .In-Person Event includes admission into The High Museum of Art before the main program.

  For the health & safety of our participants, we ask all in-person attendees to follow all CDC public health guidelines and rules of The High Museum of Art.

  What can be said about Midori that hasn't already been said? One of the leading concert violin soloists for more than 35 years, Midori remains in constant demand by orchestras around the world. Later this year she will be honored at the 43rd annual Kennedy Center Honors in Washington D.C., in recognition of lifetime artistic achievement. No matter what she's playing, Midori brings new life and vision to each performance. While it's challenging to rank Tchaikovsky's works by their beauty, his Violin Concerto is arguably one of his finest, and in the hands of Midori, is a not-to-be-missed experience.
  
  Also on the program, Spanish conductor Juanjo Mena leads the orchestra in James Lee III's Sukkot Through Orion's Nebula, composed with a vision of two heavens: the spiritual (Orion's Nebula) and the physical (the Jewish observance of Sukkot), where happy family feasts take place outside under tents. The evening concludes with Schumann's striding Fourth Symphony.

  The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will be implementing a mandatory vaccine policy for audiences. Beginning September 1, 2021, proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours prior to performance, as well as matching photo ID, will be required upon arrival at Atlanta Symphony Hall. More details are available on our Health & Safety page at www.aso.org/health-safety.
