    Angel Island Immigration Station Concert Series

    Satuday, December 14, 2024 @ 12pm*

    Program: Korean experience on Angel Island

    Del Sol violinist Hyeyung Sol Yoon has curated a program that explores the long history of Korean immigration to San Francisco, from those seeking refuge from Japanese-occupied Korea in the early 20th century to more recent immigration taking place post-1965.

    The program will feature San Francisco-based Korean composer Jungyoon Wie’s “Han”, which incorporates traditional Korean lullaby and an elegy that represents the complexity of han, a feeling of collective unresolved anger, grief, and regret amongst the Korean people.

    To join us for this special musical and historical experience, take the ferry from Tiburon or San Francisco then bike, walk or tram to the immigration station.

    *Exact time of the concert is subject to change based on ferry schedule changes

    The event is free with admission to the Detention Barracks Museum ($5 adult, $3 youth).

  • Angel Island Part 4: Dialogue and Departure
    2024/07/22

    The word “departure” generally refers to the physical act of leaving a place. However, departure also indicates a deviation from one’s traditional course of action or way of thinking.

    As we close out this season of Sounds Current, Charlton and esteemed collaborators reflect on their experiences related to the development and subsequent productions of Angel Island. How have the music, the conversations, and their experiences on Angel Island shaped their understanding of the current immigration debate in the US and beyond? How has being a part of the project affected their personal narratives and understanding of family history? And what does the future hold for this project as a whole?

    And how is the audience receiving the piece? For the first time in this series, we hear immediate reactions..

  • Angel Island Part 3: A Pandemic and a World Premiere
    2024/07/10

    We never experience a story in the same way twice. Sure, key elements remain firmly in place, but variables like political era, maturity, staging, and even the weather permeate each telling and play a vital part in the life of the piece.

    Charlton invites Del Sol collaborators to elaborate on their roles in the creation, performance, and ongoing support of The Angel Island Project. What role did the COVID-19 pandemic play in the development of the piece? What was it like to play the oratorio in the place that inspired it? How has interpretation of the piece expanded outside the confines of Angel Island? What can art teach us about 20th-century immigration policies, and how can it inform 21st-century solutions?

    Part 3 Features:

    Huang Ruo, Composer, Angel Island

    Sidney Chen, Singer, Volti San Francisco

    Kathryn Bates, Del Sol Quartet Cellist

    Andi Wong, Teaching Artist and Arts Advocate

    Susan Moffat, Principal, Future Histories Studio
