The San Francisco Symphony is staging its annual Lunar New Year show featuring Korean-American soprano Sumi Jo, guest conductor Earl Lee and a program starring modern Asian composers living in the U.S. in an ode to all who celebrate this season.
"This concert is especially important for the Chinese and Asian community right now because of the AAPI hate issues that have arisen since COVID, and I think it's an incredible opportunity for the community to gather," said Amos Yang, assistant principal cellist of the San Francisco Symphony.Yang, who grew up in the public school system in San Francisco, noted the changes in the city post-pandemic and emphasized the need for a show of solidarity now more than ever.
Renowned soprano Sumi Jo joins Lee and the symphony in singing works by Du-Nam Cho, Huang Tzu, Hong-ryeol Lee, and Geung-Su Lim. The concert features a wide range of orchestral works rooted in both Asian and Western musical traditions.
