Dreams of a Refugee Pianist
Friday, October 9th, 2009Part of what happens when you bring a group of artists to speak to refugees (or really to speak to anyone), is that the subject of art comes up. When people hear that we are artists, they tend to start telling us about the art that they know and love. There stories begin to be told on the level of music and dance, picture and sound. Last Wednesday was no exception.
