Festival composer-in-residence Huang Ruo, Tony award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang, violist Charlton Lee of the Del Sol Quartet, and artistic director of the China Now Music Festival, Jindong Cai, along with other guest artists, will discuss their experience as Asian American artists and reflect on how this particular moment in history has shaped their creative process and their views on the role of the artist in society.
