Alex Wong’s “Permission” carries a purity of emotion and intent that’s hard to shake. In this solo performance from Oklahoma City’s Tower Theater, the glorious, uplifting melody gives even greater force to its message of empowerment: raise your voice, claim your space, and don’t wait for permission to be given. Not a bad way to start the week.
Wong, alongside his friend and fellow musician Vienna Teng, hosts an incredible recurring event that celebrates arts and community. The next gathering takes place in Texas this September. Learn more about Multitudes 3.
