The Refugee Orchestra Project was founded in 2016 as a way to unite refugee musicians. Since its inception, Refugee Orchestra Project has performed with ensembles and artists like the London Symphony Orchestra, Chi-chi Nwanoko, Gity Razaz, and more. Their current Artist-in-Residence, Milad Yousufi, is a multi-media artist, composer, and conductor. He’s working with the ensemble to bring the sound of Afghan music to the stage through concerts featuring a collection of soloists and instrumentations. Yousufi is no stranger to Music Worcester: in 2019, Music Worcester commissioned Milad to compose a work for the South High Community School chamber brass band titled “Salam Alik”.
