Composer Lera Auerbach was able to emigrate from the Soviet Union at the age of 17, not knowing whether she would ever see her family again, a life story that is still painfully relevant today. In her 24 Preludes for violin and piano, hope and the insurmountable nature of death stand side by side and opposite each other, a paradox that also confronts people on the run. Having to leave everything behind in the hope of finding safety elsewhere, what does that do to your dreams?
