At National Sawdust, *Imaginary Peace: Sounds of Migration* is presented as a live classical program shaped by the Refugee Orchestra Project and its performers. The work traces how displacement and resettlement leave marks on musical language, placing personal histories alongside the formality of concert tradition. In New York City, it lands in a venue known for contemporary practice and close listening, where the social context of who is onstage becomes part of the score. The most pointed detail is its restraint: it asks for attention rather than sympathy.
