Touching on themes of home and migration, AFC’s season opener “Homeland” showcases music interwoven across time and place. This concert features clarinetist Kinan Azmeh and pianist Dinuk Wijeratne, whose brilliant clarinet concerto is a poignant musical biography of Azmeh’s emigration from Syria to the United States.

We are excited to team up with our friends at South Shore Conservatory (SSC) to present a double bill of our season opener, Homeland, on Saturday, September 17th at 7pm. Located in Hingham, MA, SSC houses the Jane Carr Amphitheater, a beautiful outdoor performance venue that invites listeners to enjoy the magic of live music under the stars. If you can't make it to Jordan Hall on September 16th, feel more comfortable in an outdoor setting, or simply can't get enough A Far Cry (we can't get enough of you, either!), then this is the concert for you. Pack your picnic basket - we hope to see you there!

Featuring Kinan Azmeh, clarinet, and Dinuk Wijeratne, piano
