On Friday, May 21, the Jihye Lee Quintet will perform live from the stage at Flushing Town Hall for an all-virtual audience.
The livestream event honors Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and includes a special dedication to the women who were killed in the Atlanta, Georgia spa shootings in March.
"At Flushing Town Hall, we are responding to the recent rise in hate crimes as best we know how -- through the arts," says Ellen Kodadek, Executive & Artistic Director. "Our mission is to bring people together by presenting arts and culture from around the world. The Atlanta killings were widely understood to be driven by racism and misogyny. We are proud to present Jihye Lee's all-female, Korean jazz quintet to share their message and music with our diverse audience. Flushing Town Hall will continue to bring people together through the arts and ensure that artists of all backgrounds and traditions have a home on our stage. We are very much looking forward to featuring Jihye Lee's incredible talent. 50% of donation proceeds will go to support Korean American Family Service Center."
