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).
