5BMF Presents AIZURI QUARTET + KINAN AZMEH: MUSIC AND MIGRATION
Celebrated Grammy Award-winning Syrian clarinetist Kinan Azmeh returns to 5BMF with the Grammy Award-winning Aizuri Quartet for a collaborative program titled Music and Migration on Sunday, February 2, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. at Brooklyn Public Library as part of BPL Presents. Music and Migration approaches the theme of migration in the broadest possible terms, as a physical journey and state of mind, and something that occurs both between and within countries, conveying each artist’s personal relationships to and experiences of migration. Built around a new commission from composer and violinist Layale Chaker, this program includes three additional works, wide-ranging in style and approach, commissioned by the Aizuri Quartet to respond to this theme.
