Touching on themes of home and migration, AFC’s season opener “Homeland showcases music interwoven across time and place. This concert features clarinetist Kinan Azmeh and pianist Dinuk Wijeratne, whose brilliant clarinet concerto is a poignant musical biography of Azmeh’s emigration from Syria to the United States.

At the heart of this music is the question of how one might define – or be forced to redefine – the meaning of ‘home.’
— Dinuk Wijeratne
