Cambodian Mahori Ensemble with Crossing Borders Music

As part of the Morton Arboretum’s “Destination Asia” festival, hear traditional music of the Cambodian mahori ensemble plus new arrangements of traditional tunes with Crossing Borders Music! The mahori ensemble musicians of the National Cambodian Heritage Museum and Killing Fields Memorial will be led by its Resident Artist Punisa Pov and joined by singers Pich Houy, Celina Chin, and Saroth Loeuk. Plus, hear a modern tribute to the centuries-old Khmer music tradition in new arrangements for mahori, singers, and Western string quartet, sensitively and beautifully arranged by Rasa Mahmoudian. A one-of-a-kind musical experience not to be missed!
