From a place of solace and belonging, to one of uncertainty and isolation, home means something different for each of us. But how does this meaning change when our home is called into question, compelling us to seek someplace new? Journey with us through a series of musical postcards, each selection a glimpse into the lives of composers in search of home. By journey’s end, you might discover that home is not the place you thought it was, or even a place at all
