DESCRIPTION:The Jingwei Bird explores the complexity of climate change and our 
 relationship to the planet through multi-disciplinary performances with Del 
 Sol Quartet and San Francisco poet laureate Genny Lim. The program weaves 
 newly composed music by Asian-American composers with powerful bilingual 
 poetry, using storytelling and mythology to deepen our understanding and 
 awareness of the environment. \n\nDel Sol Quartet, based in San Francisco, 
 believes that music can, and should, happen anywhere-screaming out Aeryn 
 Santillan's Makeshift Memorials from a Mission District sidewalk or a rural 
 high school, bouncing Ben Johnston's microtonal Americana off the canyon 
 walls of the Yampa River or the hallowed walls of Library of Congress, 
 bringing Huang Ruo's Angel Island Oratorio home to the island detention 
 barracks or across the Pacific to the Singapore International Arts 
 Festival. \n\nGenny Lim, San Francisco's 9th Poet Laureate, is the first 
 Chinese American appointed to the city's three-year laureate position. She 
 was born and raised in San Francisco's Chinatown and North Beach 
 neighborhoods and is a graduate of San Francisco State University and 
 Columbia University. Her writing has been widely published and has received 
 many awards.\n\nFree\n
