Saint Gaudens National Historic Site will present The Art of the Duo: Kinan Azmeh and Dinuk Wijerante as performers on our Summer Concert Series, a very special performance of Home Within, and community engagement activities during the Saint Gauden Memorial Centennial season of 2019. The Art of the Duo fuses elements of Arabic and south-east Asian vocabulary with classical and jazz music idioms to create a new sonic world for the audience. Home Within is a 60-minute audio visual performance with Azmeh and Syrian-Armenian visual artist, Kevork Mourad, where art and music develop in counterpoint to each other, creating an impressionistic reflection on the Syrian revolution and its aftermath.
