This year marks the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad across the United States. The US-China Music Institute at the Bard College Conservatory of Music and the Stanford Center for East Asian Studies have collaborated with the Chinese Railroad Workers’ Project to commission a musical work,
Men of Iron and the Golden Spike, to give voice to the thousands of Chinese workers who labored to build the railroad.
