The quintet, entitled My Journey to America, is a suite of seven short movements, each preceded by a spoken narrative by Yousufi, describing his journey from his dramatic birth story in Kabul to becoming a refugee in New York City.

The performance also featured chamber works by Bohuslav Martinu, another composer who immigrated to America, as well as a work by Tim Hinck, inspired by the experiences of migrant children.
