October 22 & 23 / Volti & Del Sol SQ: Huang Ruo’s Angel Island Oratorio
Presidio Theatre (SF), Angel Island Immigration Station

Between 1910 and 1940, as immigrants flowed through the new immigration station on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay, Chinese immigrants faced massive discrimination because of the Chinese Exclusion Act. Being held for sometimes years in brutal conditions at the detention center, many of these immigrants looked for solace by inscribing poetry onto the walls of the center. Composer Huang Ruo’s 75-minute Angel Island Oratorio for Del Sol String Quartet and chamber choir Volti brings these poems to life in the very space they were created.
