Girls of Yellow Diamonds

Presented as part of the Knoxville Opera Salon Series in partnership with the Eugenia Williams House, featuring collaborative pianist Eileen Downey. 
Created by acclaimed artists Alice Chung and Helen Zhibing Huang, Girls of Yellow Diamonds is a moving musical exploration of the stories, identities, and lived experiences of Asian American women. Through works by Asian American composers, this intimate recital celebrates resilience, heritage, and the power of personal storytelling in one of Knoxville’s most beautiful historic homes. The program is structured as a journey through childhood, growth, womanhood, and the future, featuring music in English alongside works in Asian languages that represent the cultural heritage of artists.
