San Francisco’s Del Sol String Quartet likes music that asks the question “why not?” And that “why not?” may shed light on their pioneering journey outside of the comfortable concert hall and into the darkest, most unwelcoming corners of Angel Island – the Ellis Island of the West Coast – a Kafkaesque administrative center formerly responsible for detaining countless would-be immigrants from China by decree of the Chinese Exclusion Act. The quartet will present this and other, happier projects that are sure to inspire other string quartets to use “all the world [as their] stage.” Come welcome violinists Sam Weiser & Benjamin Kreith, violist Charlton Lee and cellist Kathryn Bates to our show!
