Grand Vision Foundation is known for hosting talented musicians on our stage โ€” but we also have some on our very own staff!

This Saturday, one of our Teaching Artists and Team Taiko instructor Yeeman โ€œManManโ€ Mui will perform with their Taiko ensemble group Mujo Dream Flight at FandangObon, a festival that brings together music and dance from Mexico, Japan, Nigeria and New Guinea. ManMan teaches recorder and percussion in our Meet the Music programs and is a founding member of Mujo Dream Flight, which highlights trans/non-binary artists and their journeys with identity and belonging. Support ManMan and Mujo Dream Flight at FandangObon tomorrow, October 5, 2024, from 3-6 PM at the Japanese American National Museum Plaza.
