Del Sol Quartet

A string quartet’s quest to shine light on San Francisco’s Angel Island, a site of detention and dehumanization for Chinese immigrants in the 1900s. Here, poems carved into the walls sing across time, connecting us to a shameful, hidden past. We travel with the creatives behind The Angel Island Project; the Del Sol Quartet, composer Huang Ruo, collaborators, and community. Sounds Current: Angel Island explores how we make compassionate art that builds community. delsolquartet.com
