This event is the eleventh in a series that began years ago with Strings of Three Nations (2015), followed by Dances of Three Nations (2016), Drums of Three Nations (2017), Voices of Three Nations (2018), Flutes of Three Nations (2019), Mask Dances of Three Nations (2020), Dances of Three Nations (2022), Children’s Choirs of Three Nations (2023), Stringed Instruments of Three Nations (2024), Music & Dance of Three Nations (2025) and Martial Arts of Three Nations (2026). We hope you will join us this year!

The idea for this series of performances originated in 2015 with officials from the Oregon China Council, the Consular Office of Japan in Portland, and the Honorary Consulate for the Republic of Korea in Portland. In a joint statement at that initial meeting, the group stated, “We want to show that, despite the political tensions in many parts of the world today, our respective communities in Portland serve as a model of cooperation and friendship. In this spirit, we are delighted to share an afternoon of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures with the citizens of Oregon.”

Please join us for this exciting event!
