DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Lewis P. and Derek S.\nMusicians: Ellie Falaris Ganel
 in\, Lewis Patzner\, Jonathan Alford\, and Katerina Clambaneva\n\nGreek Ch
 amber Music Project presents a matinee Groupmuse of Greek refugee songs fr
 om Asia Minor. \n\nAsia Minor was a thriving cosmopolitan center for Helle
 nic life since ancient times. Port cities like Constantinople (Istanbul) a
 nd Smyrna (Izmir) had rich musical traditions that reflected their diverse
  populations: Greeks\, Turks\, Armenians\, Arabs\, Gypsies\, Jews and Euro
 peans.\n\nBut during the fall of the Ottoman Empire\, Greece and Turkey we
 nt to war\, leading to the genocide and expulsion of Greeks in what is kno
 wn as the Asia Minor Catastrophe. In the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne\, Greece 
 and Turkey resolved to end their disputes by making their nations ethnical
 ly and religiously “pure.” Greek Orthodox Christians living in Turkey 
 were forced to move to Greece\, and in turn Turkish Muslims in Greece were
  sent to live in Turkey. The resulting 1923 Population Exchange uprooted 1
 .6 million people across the region and is considered an act of ethnic cle
 ansing.  \n\nA century later\, the Greek Chamber Music Project commemorate
 s this historical moment with songs and stories from Asia Minor leading up
  and in response to the population exchange. Titled Uproot\, GCMP performs
  modern arrangements of Greek music from the region\, celebrating this vib
 rant musical heritage and capturing the refugee experience through song. U
 proot weaves histories and personal stories throughout\, generating a univ
 ersal dialogue about the impact of forced migration and building a bridge 
 to the experience of modern-day refugees.
