[Music] Three concerts in which to explore music with composers and soloists from the Middle East. Beyond their various borders and languages, these musicians can be divided into three categories – those who have chosen to stay in their country, those who go back and forth and thereby create a kind of synthesis, and those who have settled in the West. In this artistic production, ‘‘history (whether personal or political) is a powerful force’’.Credits
