Voices from Syria: Panel Discussion with Kinan Azmeh

Community MusicWorks hosts Syrian composer and clarinetist  Kinan Azmeh for a multi-day residency, featuring performances of works for strings and clarinet by Syrian composers, including Azmeh himself. In conjunction with the performance, this forum links  the concert to the ongoing Syrian crisis, and will feature composers and representatives from Dorcas International Institute, which provides ongoing support to Syrian refugees in Rhode Island.

About Kinan Azmeh:
Hailed as a “virtuoso” by the New York Times and “spellbinding”  by the New Yorker, Azmeh’s utterly distinctive sound across different musical genres has gained him international recognition as  clarinetist and composer.
