The Tucson J, in partnership with Southern Arizona Symphony Orchestra (SASO), is proud to present Peter Boyer”s Ellis Island: The Dream of America, a Grammy-nominated contemporary classical work celebrating the historic American immigrant experience. Using texts from the Ellis Island Oral History Project and historic Ellis Island images in combination with an original orchestral score, Ellis Island features first-hand stories of immigrants dramatically interpreted. Over 40 percent of the U.S. population can trace their ancestry through Ellis Island, and immigration remains at the forefront of global news. Ellis Island captures the emotions, elation, and uncertainties of America’s epic immigrant experience.
