Cuatro Puntos – A Pre-Concert Demonstration of Afghan Instruments in Glastonbury
October 26 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
An informal performance by 8 Afghan musicians, the evening before their performance of SYMPHONY OF RESILIENCE at the Bushnell in Hartford
Music is forbidden in Afghanistan, leaving an ancient musical tradition to live on in exile. The style of the “Afghan Radio Orchestra” consists of traditional Afghan instruments alongside Western orchestra instruments. This historic performance features an orchestra of Afghan and local musicians playing all music by Afghan composers. It will be only one of a handful of Afghan orchestral concerts around the world since Afghanistan was silenced in 2021.
