This evening-length multimedia work theatrically explores displacement, longing and the optimism of refugees. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Music, Mary Kouyoumdjian’s Paper Pianos combines narratives from four refugees and resettlement workers with intricate hand-drawn animations by artist Kervork Mourad that dramatically depict emotions experienced around the world.

This event is made possible with support from the Randy Hostetler Living Room Music Project. This performance is also supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council and The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation.
