Mission Bazaar is a twice a year “shopping spectacle” which combines a more traditional arts and craft expo with a dynamic performance and music event. Taking place inside the 40,000 sq. ft. drill court of The Historic Armory, over 200 artisans exhibiting their uniquely designed creative products and accessories and over 20 hours of live performances by singers, musicians, circus and dance acts, performance artists, DJs and much more, Mission Bazaar is an extraordinary happening in one of San Francisco’s landmark buildings.

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.
