Del Sol Quartet Launches New Podcast

By Afton Markay

San Francisco’s Del Sol Quartet will release the first season of its new podcast, “Sounds Current” on June 10.

The podcast, co-hosted by founding Del Sol member Charlton Lee, follows the creation of Huang Ruo’s “Angel Island,” which made its world premiere at Oratorio at Presidio in San Francisco in 2021. Lee and other c0-hosts, cellist Kathryn Bates, and violinists Benjamin Kreith and Hyeyung Sol Yoon will dive into San Francisco’s Angel Island, a site of detention for Chinese immigrants in the 1900s. The podcast will feature several guests to explore “how compassionate art enriches a community and can lead to a more hopeful future.”

“Sounds Current” is one of four podcasts nominated for the 2024 Tribeca Festival’s Independent Audio Nonfiction Award. Lee and “Sounds Current” producer, Andrea Klunder, from The Creative Impostor Studios, will preview the episode before its release at the Tribeca Festival’s Official Selection Previews (Nonfiction), hosted by The New Yorker’s Critics at Large on June 10 at 5:30 p.m. at AMC 19th St. East 6, in New York.
