A powerful song cycle inspired by real stories of early 20th-century immigrants, Vignettes: Ellis Island gives voice to those who passed through one of America’s most iconic gateways. Drawing on interviews from the Ellis Island Oral History Project, composer Alan Louis Smith brings to life the resilience, hope, and humanity at the heart of the immigrant experience through twenty deeply moving musical portraits.
