Keeping the Music Alive

Zohra, Afghanistan’s award-winning first all-female orchestra, has captivated audiences around the world with its musical talent.

With the fall of Kabul, members still in the country have gone into hiding, while those who fled are advocating internationally to rescue their fellow musicians. The question remains: despite the challenges, will they be able to keep their music alive?
