This multi-media orchestral work is about migration, transformation,&nbsp;and the search for home. It is a 21st century, musical\/poetic expression of the challenges and aspirations&nbsp;of so many of today\u2019s American cities and their inhabitants who hail from many different parts of the globe.&nbsp;It is inspired by stories of immigrants and refugees in Queens, NY\u2014the most ethnically diverse locality&nbsp;in the United States.
