Defining Courage is a story about what it means to be an American. The show is a journey into the legacy of the Nisei Soldier, Americans of Japanese ancestry who served in the segregated military units of the 100th IB, 442nd RCT, MIS, and 522nd FAB. Considered among the greatest fighting units in American military history, their extraordinary stories have rarely been heard.
Narrated by Emmy-winning ABC7-Los Angeles News Anchor and Filmmaker David Ono along with musicians and vocalists curated by Music Director Chris Wade, we immerse you into the profound and inspiring world of these heroes who fought prejudice at home and the enemy abroad.
SEE, HEAR, and EXPERIENCE their incredible heroics through this piece of innovative storytelling. Far from a history lesson, it is a testament to inner strength, one that inspires us in our search for courage in today’s world.

Appalachian Spring
Jackson Hole Chamber Music, The Center and Dancers’ Workshop join forces to present an evening of chamber music featuring Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring,” a ballet born from the American soil. Its folk hymns, open skies, and the joyful story of a young couple starting life on the frontier have made this one of America’s most beloved works. Complementing Copland’s masterpiece are works by Viet Cuong, Shelley Washington, and Arthur Foote, music that spans the full range of the American chamber tradition and makes this one of the most anticipated evenings of the fall season.
