Echoes of Eureka
April 19 | 4pm
Explore a fascinating chapter of the Chinese American experience in California through Echoes of Eureka, a multimedia program melding opera and film, followed by an illuminating panel discussion on the making of the show, the history and its contemporary reflections, such as citizenship, immigration, and reparations. Christ Church’s former Director of Music Eric Tuan’s opera Echoes of Eureka, performed by the 40 voices of the Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choir, tells the true story of the 1885 expulsion of the Chinese community in Humboldt and their subsequent fight for justice and dignity. The opera is paired with Chisato Hughes’ powerful film Many Moons, in which Chinese community members search for those who may have survived Humboldt’s 1885 expulsion and 60 years of enforced exclusion – the only known survivor being Charlie Moon, whose descendants are Native tribal members. Moon's story is one of those told in Echoes of Eureka. A panel discussion featuring Tuan and Hughes will illuminate the genesis of the opera and film and explore this little known facet of California’s history.
Please join the Chinese Historical and Cultural Project, the Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choir, and Christ Episcopal Church on Sunday, April 19, at 4:00 p.m. to explore this little known facet of California’s history. This event is free and will be held at Christ Episcopal Church (1040 Border Road, Los Altos). Your RSVP here will help us plan for the event and reception to follow.
