The project “Home is where the music is” aims to work with Syrian chamber music groups operating in Sweden and Skåne in order to explore contemporary music from Syria and premiere it. During rehearsals before the concert, the participating musicians will keep a journal recording musical reflections on rehearsing the repertoire, but also personally describe their life situation in general as seen from the daily perspective of life as a musician in exile. The journal follows a thought process and acts as a key to understanding and getting to know the Syrian musical world on a deeper level.
