Commissioned in 2020 by the Del Sol Quartet,

Angel Island is composed by Huang Ruo who was deeply inspired by poetry carved into the walls by detainees held at the Angel Island immigration Station between 1910-1940.

Ruo’s 80-minute oratorio is scored for a string quartet, 16 singers plus a narrator and has been transformed into a dance work, featuring 12 Oakland Ballet Company members and created by 7 Asian American Pacific Islander choreographers.

Other creatives contributing to this production are vocal ensemble, Volti with conductor Dr. Wei Cheng, costume designers Alysia Chang and Kaori Higashiyama, and lighting designer Courtney Carson.
