Capital Vocal Students Bring Immigration Stories to Life
Capital students will be lifting their voices to share the personal stories of people who came to the United States through Ellis Island, New York, during the wave of European immigration 100 years ago. In “Vignettes: Ellis Island,” the texts featured in the song cycle were all taken from quotes collected by the Ellis Island Oral History Project. Starting in 1973, immigrants who had come through Ellis Island were invited to come back to record their stories. Ellis Island operated as an immigration station from 1892 to 1954, so they were sharing their experiences decades after their journey had taken place. Click here for more information.
