Freedom & Resistance
A five-work classical compendium shaped by themes of freedom, memory, loss, resistance, and hope. Across five works, composers, performers, producers, engineers, and artists bring together piano, strings, voice, percussion, programming, sound design, and original artwork within a single artistic statement. The works move from mourning and remembrance toward witness, resilience, and the enduring pursuit of freedom. Created through an international collaboration, AZADI Songs of Freedom brings distinct musical voices together around a universal idea: the human desire to live, create, speak, and exist freely.
