Watch: Songs of RefugeMusicWorks Collective with Guests: Songs of Refuge“Songs of Refuge” was recorded at the Providence Public Library on March 26, 2022. The concert is a highly anticipated collaboration between Community MusicWorks and Dorcas International Institute, co-presented by Providence Public Library (PPL). This event celebrates the joy and solidarity of community by bringing together local, resettled musicians along with the MusicWorks Collective in special arrangements of traditional songs from Iraq, Syria, and Iran. The 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 are so pleased to share this with you!
