妈妈, 爸爸。(For Mum, Dad: DISTANT LETTERS)" is a multimedia chamber music experience that serves as a love letter to immigrant parents. Featuring chamber music works by API and/or immigrant composers, performed by flute-cello duo KOE, and collaborating with new media artist, Xuan, this third iteration of the "For Mum, Dad" series explores the difficulties of the immigrant journey and the distance it creates with inspiration taken from a set of letters between Flora and Charles Wang in 1940s Montana. 

KOE (Eva Ding, flute and Emma Kato, cello) is a duo dedicated to creating interdisciplinary projects that tell important stories of their upbringing and culture and performing the works of living Asian, Asian-hyphenate, and BIPOC composers. To that end they were artists-in-residence at the Center at West Park for their Fall 2021 Season and presented a multimedia chamber music show as an homage to the immigrant journey and self-produced a second set of shows at Arts On Site in late 2022 made possible by the LMCC Creative Engagement Grant. They’re also deeply connected to their respective heritages and cultures - Emma being a 2nd generation Japanese-American, and Eva being Chinese-born and New Zealand-raised - and make an effort to include pieces and composers that reflect that into their programming.
