When the Afghanistan fell under Taliban rule in 2021, instruments were destroyed and musicians were silenced. Today, we hear from Afghan musicians taking part in a performance at the Bushnell Theater in Hartford entitled “Symphony of Resilience: The Afghan Orchestra Unsilenced.” We’ll listen to some of their original music and learn how some artists in Afghanistan are finding ways to pursue and even record music abroad. Plus, Kevin Bishop, the founder of Cuatro Puntos, a Connecticut non-profit that works to amplify persecuted and underrepresented music and musicians, joins us. GUESTS: Nazira Wali: musician and composer Arson Fahim: musician, pianist, composer and conductor Kevin Bishop: Founder and Executive Director of Cuatro Puntos Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
