Vibrant Voices: Musical Portraits from the Houston Asian American Archive is a unique and innovative concert experience that highlights immigrant experiences and triumphs in Houston. Join three young Houston-based composers — Victor Cui, Ethan Soledad, and Tian Qin — as they share vivid musical stories about three Houstonians: wound care doctor and post-war Vietnam refugee Nathalie Roff; writer, filmmaker, and former stand-up comic BanBan Cheng; and dancer and choreographer Cookie Joe. The composers researched Houston Asian American Archive’s materials and oral history collections, which sparked their inspiration to create these compositions.
Join Asia Society Texas, Houston Asian American Archive, and Musiqa for an evening celebrating Asian American experiences in Houston through music and oral history. Some of the interviewees will be present to deliver comments; a reception will follow the concert. Registration is required for this free event.
