International Day of Peace Observation: Apollo Chamber Players perform du Bois
at Rothko Chapel—Music of Peace and Reconciliation 

In observation of International Day of Peace, join the Apollo Chamber Players for a program of music for string quartet by Syrian-American and American composers including Alexandra du Bois.  Alexandra du Bois was moved by the on-going refugee crisis in Syria and by people displaced as a result of war and conflict to compose her latest string quartet, subtitled “Obala” or “Sea Coast,” a piece about peace and knowledge that music travels over the sea and resettles along with all refugees and immigrants. Apollo Chamber Players commissioned and premiered du Bois’ fourth string quartet, Obala, in 2016 in Houston, Texas
