Kinan,azmeh / Azmeh - Live In Berlin - Music CD

The live album by Syrian clarinettist Kinan Azmeh is dedicated to the memory of his father, who died in 2024, but it also celebrates the musical friendship between the four musicians, who first played together in New York in 2006. Many of the pieces on his album were composed during the Syrian uprising in 2011 and are characterised by anger and sadness, but also by unwavering optimism and hope. Azmeh is convinced that making music is an act of freedom and has ultimately prevailed against violence and tyranny in Syria.
