Unbound Chinatown with Jon Jang Seven featuring Min Xiao Fen (Yerba Buena Gardens Festival - SOMA)
| Saturday, May 17 | ||
| 1:00 pm | to | 2:30 pm |
Composer/pianist Jon Jang’s musical language re-contextualizes Chinese folk songs within a contemporary music framework, a metaphor for the changing face of Chinese America. Unbound Chinatown pays homage to Alice Fong Yu, the first Chinese American teacher hired by the San Francisco School District. With his stellar ensemble, including saxophonist Francis Wong and trombonist/music director Wayne Wallace, and guest vocalist Min Xiao Fen, Jang paints musical portraits of Yu’s life as a community and political leader during the 1930s.
