Inside the Music: Music Beyond the Wall

When: Tuesday, December 17 at 7:00 P.M.

Where: New World Center, SunTrust Pavillion

About: Music holds the power to convey emotion and connect people in ways that words often fail. It can withstand the passage of time, transcend cultural differences, and overcome language barriers. Living in a society dominated by the media and sensational headlines, we can easily forget that the communities we hear about in the news also have incredible people and culture. In this evening of chamber music, we will explore music by composers who are from parts of the world that appear different from our own, and who are creating beautiful music inspired by their surroundings. Through their music, we have the opportunity to get to know communities, rather than stereotypes, and to connect with people in unexpected ways.

Featuring music by:

• Oliver Messiaen (France)
• Dina Shilleh (Palenstine)
• Rastgo Yadgar (Iraq / Kurdistan)
• Daniel Domínguez (El Salvador)
• Víctor Agudelo (Colombia)

Music from Beyond the Wall is a NWS BLUE project. Fellow-driven projects are sponsored in part by the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation. For tickets and more information, click here.
