Homeward Bound: A Korean Adoptee Exploring the Longing for Belonging
Featuring new classical works by American composers, Samuel Barber, Tom Cipullo, Carlisle Floyd, Bo Konigsmark, and Matthew Jihoon Pelligrino, Jae Carelli contextualizes these works in their adoption story by connecting them with the songs from their upcoming debut EP American Doll. The 7 core issues of adoption (loss, loyalty, control, identity, abandonment, trust, and shame) are explored through stories and song.
