New York "Sori"

“New York Sori” showcases female AAPI musicians and composers after a harrowing pandemic which challenged Asian American existence in New York City and America. Sori—the Korean word for “noise”—encompasses musical sounds from ambient noise to shouting. With consequences of Asian Hate still reverberating and daily deportations in the news, AAPI life continues to be threatened, narrowed, policed. This concert is a call-to-action: AAPI artists remain essential to the cultural fabric of this country and continue to make noise.

This concert is generously funded by the Baisley Powell Elebash Fund. This fund provides awards to doctoral students pursuing topics related to music that seriously engage the cultural, political, and/or social context of greater NYC area.
