Financial Support

Our mission is to make all of our programs accessible. Every fee-based offering has a limited number of pay-what-you-can spots available to support self-identified people of color, members of marginalized groups (queer people, transgender people, and  people with disabilities) and those in financial need (those for whom the cost to attend is not financially possible). 

These spots are offered on a first come, first served basis. Please pay at the highest level you can afford. In order for this support to be available, we rely on those who can afford to pay the full price to do so.

Find out if spots are available by clicking REGISTER NOW on the event you are interested in.

Join Arn Chorn-Pond, Him Sophy, and Phloeun Prim of Cambodian Living Arts for this panel discussion on Sophy’s newest composition, Bangsokol: Music of Reconciliation, moderated by Trudy Goodman. 

Composed by internationally acclaimed Cambodian composer and survivor of the Khmer Rouge, Him Sophy, this is the first major symphonic work to address the traumas of the Cambodian genocide of the late 1970s. As an act of cultural renewal, Bangsokol speaks to the role of the arts as a means for healing and reconciliation and seeks to inspire a new generation of artistic expression. The composition is a powerful act of healing. 

The piece places the musical ritual of a Bangsokol – a traditional Khmer ceremony that accompanies Cambodian Buddhist funeral rites – within the form of a Western requiem that culminates with a plea to recognize impermanence as the only path to peace.

This event will be recorded and emailed to everyone who registers. 

Schedule: 8-9:30pm, PT
