Featuring music commemorating triumph over adversity in connection with Memorial Day including Vaughn Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem and two works by Cecilia McDowall: Angel of the Battlefield and Every Day Wonders: The Girl from Aleppo, which tells the real-life escape story of wheelchair-bound Nujeen Mustafa and her sister from war-torn Aleppo. Their harrowing journey across 3,500 miles through seven countries eventually find them in Germany with relief and great gratitude.
