In concert with the Persian New Year of Nowruz, Apollo Chamber Players will celebrate the multicultural beauty of Houston, the most ethnically diverse city in America. They will also reflect on the rarity of a country born with freedom of speech and religion - and diversity of thought - as an integral part of its democratic DNA. Will America ever realize the promise of a truly pluralistic society living in harmony?
The program will include the world premiere of Reza Vali's Bandari, a commission for string quartet & percussion; Daniel Bernard Roumain: String Quartet No. 5 “Rosa Parks"; Muyassar Kurdi's Lullaby for the Children of the Sun; and Gilad Cohen's Three Goat Blues.
