Join us for Migrant Songs, an unforgettable evening that celebrates the resilience, strength, love, and beauty of migrants through the music of the Balkans, Anatolia, and the Middle East. This concert is a tribute to those who have been forced to leave their homes, families, and loved ones in search of new beginnings. Through songs in Turkish, Persian, Arabic, Greek, Bosnian, Albanian, North Macedonian, and Hindustani, we explore the universal emotions of longing, loss, love, and hope.
The musicians performing are not just artists—they are migrants themselves, carrying their own stories of displacement. Through their music, they share the collective experience of migration, bridging cultures and honoring their shared journey.
