Letters from Kabul
A concert featuring the music of our 2016 album to be released on the UK label Toccata Classics and distributed worldwide by Naxos. This album is a collaborative effort between Cuatro Puntos, Afghan music scholar and Cuatro Puntos' composer-in-residence Dr. Sadie Harrison, and the Afghanistan National Institute of Music. It is a tri-national collaboration meant to show solidarity between Afghan and Western musicians, and will help the voices of Afghan children be heard around the world.
