INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Though Angel Island began with Del Sol Quartet's collaboration with composer Huang Ruo, poet Genny Lim and arts educator Andi Wong are essential to everything the project has become and continues to be.
We are thrilled to share that since the time of this podcast, Genny has been inaugurated as San Francisco poet Laureate. She's the first Chinese American to hold this position.
In this bonus conversation with Genny and Andi, we tease our upcoming collaboration, Songs of the Diaspora, a multimedia performance that will premiere late 2025 with poetry by Genny Lim, and new music by Chinese diaspora composers in the United States Theresa Wong, Vivian Fung, and Meilina Tsui. Together we discuss the components of successful collaboration, the necessity of holding each other's stories to discover truth, and the beauty of checking your ego at the door.
