Del Sol Quartet Live: Women’s Voices Concert (Angel Island)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Del Sol Quartet continues its groundbreaking Angel Island Concert Series with a performance on Sunday, March 14, inviting audiences of all ages to experience music and storytelling inside the detention barracks at Angel Island Immigration Station—one of the most powerful landmarks of immigration history in the United States. Long a place of suffering and dashed hopes, these barracks also stand as testimony to the irrepressible creative spirit of the Chinese detainees who carved hundreds of poems into the walls. Three times a year, Del Sol fills this acoustically superb monument with the music of immigrant voices.
Catch the ferry to Angel Island and this concert is free with your museum entry, there’s also a free shuttle from Ayala Cove to the Immigration Station at 10:30 and 11:30 for the concert.
The March 14 program centers women’s voices of the Chinese diaspora, featuring excerpts from Facing the Moon: Songs of the Diaspora, which weaves contemporary music and community storytelling with newly created poetry by Genny Lim. Del Sol will also preview their upcoming Portrait Concert of Cambodian-American composer Chinary Ung with a performance of his lush, lyrical Spiral III.
Now entering its third season, the Angel Island Concert Series is the first-ever recurring concert series presented inside the immigration station.
