This unique performance brings together the Cambodian Museum Traditional Music Ensemble and Crossing Borders Music musicians, performing newly arranged Cambodian classics.
These special arrangements, crafted by former Crossing Borders Music violinist Rasa Mahmoudian under the guidance of Cambodian Museum Resident Artist Nisa Pov, debuted at the 2021 Cambodian Day of Remembrance and accompanied Cambodian storytellers. For each piece, Pov provides insightful introductions, enriching the audience’s experience of this unique cultural collaboration.
