“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.
