  • Summary

  • “My hope is not to divide, but to bring people together. Because only when we know about the history, then we can see our present and can learn [from] mistakes and to do better.” So says composer and conductor Huang Ruo on his vision for Angel Island.

    This bonus is Charlton’s full conversation with Huang Ruo recorded in a friend’s apartment in New York, during the 2024 Next Wave Festival, co-presented by Brooklyn Academy of Music and Prototype Festival.

    Follow the evolution of our collaboration from the first time we met, through the dark times of the COVID pandemic, all the way to New York.

    Learn more about Huang Ruo’s work at HuangRuo.com, including the world premiere of his new opera, The Monkey King, written with David Henry Hwang at San Francisco Opera in November 2025.
