Afghanistan National Institute Of Music
“Since 2010, an Afghan music scholar trained in Australia, aided by a Juilliard-educated violinist and with government backing, has kept a small music school going in Kabul, putting musical instruments into the hands of street kids and striving to make space for girls in a country where education is often denied them.”
They’re playing in DC and at my place of work. Can’t wait.
Great article. Enjoy the performance.
I got to see Homayoun Sakhi (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Homayoun-Sakhi-Afghan-Rubab-Player/195561090490067) perform at the University of Washington last spring: it was amazing. He’s also on one of the Smithsonian’s Central Asian music collections. Highly recommended.
