Resource materials for The Del Sol String Quartet & Huang Ruo's work inspired by immigrant poetry inscribed at the Angel Island barracks. “Your Wall Is Our Canvas: The Angel Island Project” will bring these poems to life in the very space they were created. Composed by Huang Ruo, the 45-minute oratorio for string quartet and chamber choir will weave a story of immigration and discrimination of then and now. Premiere performances will occur at the Angel Island Immigration Station in October 2020. https://www.delsolquartet.com/angelisland

Blake Mini Library supports the reading, writing and science literacy of children ages birth to 21 living in homes for runaways, homeless shelters and foster care.

At the age of six, Blake Ansari decided to help end poverty by donating a Blake Mini Library to homeless shelters and food banks. Each year, young children are invited to participate in youth philanthropy by joining Blake’s efforts to bring the joy of reading to homeless children.
