Coming 2 America isn't the only story debuting this week about an immigrant. The fabric of our country's diversity, stitched together by people who hail from every corner of this Earth, is on full display Thursday as ROCO presents an intimate performance titled
My Journey to America, named after the world premiere quintet composed by Afghan composer Milad Yousufi and co-commissioned by the Winsor Music Consortium.
My Journey to America is a suite of five short movements, each preceded by a spoken narrative by Yousufi, describing his journey from his dramatic birth story in Kabul, Afghanistan to becoming a refugee in New York City. The concert takes place, via livestream, at 7 p.m. at Holocaust Museum Houston.
