Sturm und Klang reunites with composer Kris Oelbrandt and presents the premiere of his "Tibhirine Meditations," followed by the Sawa Ensemble performing music from Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.

Texts and poems from both cultures, referring to the content of the music, will be interspersed between the pieces by the Dominican Friars.
