The Lost Chord: June 30 - Spirits of Independence

statue_of_liberty_immigrants.jpg

From 1892 to 1954, more than 12 million immigrants passed through Ellis Island in search of a better life.  More than 40 percent of the U.S. population, over 100 million Americans, can trace their roots to someone who entered this country along that route.  Composer Peter Boyer assembled texts from testimonials archived as part of the Ellis Island Oral History Project to create “Ellis Island:  The Dream of America.”  These are real words of real people telling their own stories.  The New Colossus lifts her lamp, this Sunday at 10 pm.

Ross Amico is program host, and host of Picture Perfect which airs Saturdays at 6 pm and The Lost Chord which airs Sundays at 10 pm.
