Sakura Sweethearts

Residents of International House (I-House) in Upper Manhattan treasure its intimate neighboring Sakura Park, with its cherry trees, meandering paths, and gazebo, all of which make it one of the most romantic spots in the neighborhood. Small wonder that over the decades such young residents as Paul and Daisy Soros met and fell in love while living at I-House. Now Sakura Park is the inspiration for Sakura Sweethearts, a celebration of love through the seasons of the year as well as the emotional cycle of the I-House resident experience. With music, poems, and stories of actual Sakura sweethearts, it will be performed by I-House residents for one night only as part of its new music performance series, Music at I-House: Then and Now.
