Join us Saturday, March 26 at 2 pm for “Songs of Refuge,” a highly anticipated collaboration between Community MusicWorks and Dorcas International Institute, co-presented by Providence Public Library (PPL).

“Songs of Refuge” celebrates the joy and solidarity of community by bringing together local, resettled musicians with the MusicWorks Collective in special arrangements of traditional songs from Iraq, Syria, and Iran.

This concert, set at PPL’s beautifully restored Donald J. Farish Auditorium, features works by composer Kareem Roustom, including a world premiere that spotlights MusicWorks Collective violinist Jesse Holstein as he marks a two-decade career at CMW.

Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island and Community MusicWorks have long shared a vision anchored in community and belonging. This event gathers both organizations in celebration of the common language of music. We look forward to sharing this with you!
