Join us on Saturday, 5/17 at 6 PM for Alex Wong's PERMISSION, an immersive concert experience celebrating and exploring Asian American identity.

What is a Permission Party?

Wong’s latest album, PERMISSION, is an honest, personal, and at times uncomfortable look at Wong’s journey as a person of color learning how to take up space in America and exploring what Asian-American music can sound like.

To bring the album to life, Wong has developed a multi-sensory live experience called PERMISSION, which uses food as an on-ramp to his cultural memory.

Attendees will be treated to a first-of-its-kind listening and tasting performance, enjoying 3 songs from Wong's newest album that are each paired with a Chinese-inspired dish sharing a common emotion. The event will close with a set by Wong including a mix of music from PERMISSION and previous records.

LOCATION: Vivilore Restaurant: 10815 E Winner Rd, Independence, MO 64052
