• Karim Al-Zand | The Strangers’ Case for Tenor and String Orchestra
In a world increasingly shaped by migration and displacement, A Far Cry closes the season with a meditation on empathy and belonging.
Curated by violinist Jesse Irons and featuring GRAMMY® Award-winning tenor Karim Sulayman, The Strangers’ Case traces the lives and legacies of those who cross borders—voluntarily or by force—in search of safety, identity, and home.
Mary Kouyoumdjian’s Tagh [Diary] of an Immigrant offers an imagined journal entry from a hope-filled soul, pushing hungrily toward immigration.
Handel’s intimate tenor arias remind us that longing and love transcend time.
Dvořák’s tender Nocturne offers a moment of solace—a lyrical breath between journeys.
In Karim Al-Zand’s searing The Strangers’ Case — named after Shakespeare’s monologue defending the displaced — Sulayman and the Criers bring to life this new song cycle for voice and string orchestra, with texts drawn from poems, personal accounts, and other reflections on American immigrant journeys.
