Story Boldly’s Defining Courage, an Immersive Live Event
Story Boldly’s Defining Courage, an Immersive Live Event
Use code GPSAW15 to receive steeply discount $15 tickets to Story Boldly's Defining Courage, April 4th at 8PM in Zellerbach Hall. Simply enter the code in the top right box before selecting your seats at: CalPerformances. This event is part of Cal Performances’ Illuminations: “Fractured History” programming for the 2024–25 season. Defining Courage commemorates the struggles and sacrifices of the Nisei soldiers of World War II through vivid cinematography, stirring live music, eyewitness interviews, and deft storytelling. Serving in segregated units, these Americans of Japanese ancestry were among the war’s most decorated soldiers, unsung heroes fighting for the US while many of their families were held in incarceration camps back at home. The production is a creation of Story Boldly, a nonprofit initiative devoted to journalistic storytelling founded by Emmy Award-winning creator David Ono, an anchor on KABC-TV in Los Angeles, who also narrates. The performance features music by composers Enzo De Roza and Sheridan Seyfried, performed by six-time Grammy winner Daniel Ho, multi-platinum songwriter and performer Harold Payne, the gospel-pop group Raise, Trio Barclay, and the UC Berkeley Chamber Chorus. Ono has described the project as a work of historic reclamation: “They’re truly some of America’s greatest heroes, some of the toughest guys we’ve ever created. To learn about these guys and learn about their adversity and how they overcame it… how they just kind of faded back into the background, never to be adored, never to be thanked or congratulated.”
