Journey West chronicles the migration of musical melodies from their countries of origin to distant lands. Led by ensemble director Max Buckholtz and featuring Dara Anissi, Mark Weinand, Chad Lieberman, and Nikolai Ruskin, this musical journey will follow tunes as they wander the globe as a result of war, imperialism, nomadic dispersions, mass emigrations, and musical crazes. This trek specifically tracks melodies and instrumentation starting in the Middle East and traveling through Europe and across the ocean to the New World.
