Del Sol Quartet on Angel Island: Foreigners to the Familiar - Exploring the Filipino Experience
A concert by the Del Sol String Quartet in partnership with Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation
What’s it like to shine day-glo bright as a poison frog, your colors a warning to potential predators? Dante de Silva’s “Aposematic” recreates the pressure of difference and the struggle to maintain individuality. Josiah Catalan’s “Foreigners to the Familiar” interweaves slam poetry by Irene Faye Duller, Brandon Gagante and Mei Chung. Join us for two world premieres as we bring California community voices to life within the historic detention barracks of Angel Island Immigration Station!
