The Rochester Symphony will share the evening with a special guest: Maestro Karim Wasfi, renowned cellist, conductor, and founder of Peace Through Arts Foundation. Known for his “spontaneous compositions,” solo cello performances held at sites of bombings in Iraq. Wasfi conducts the Iraqi National Symphony Orchestra and has developed youth orchestra and music education programs for displaced young people. He will perform with the Rochester Symphony string quartet and share stories of how music is leading the effort to achieve healing and peace.
