Syrian Symphony: New Compositions in Sight and Sound, a new exhibition at the Aga Khan Museum, explores the resilience of culture in times of conflict. The exhibit is an immersive, interactive and multi-sensory portrayal of the current situation in Syria.
True to its name, Syrian Symphony orchestrates music, painting and media arts by some of Syria’s leading artists and musicians. Similar to an orchestral symphony, the soundscape of the exhibition is divided into four distinct yet connected “movements.”.
