Last night, the Seattle Symphony presented “Music Beyond Borders: Voices from the Seven.” It was a free concert celebrating the countries affected by Donald Trump’s executive order banning travel to several Muslim-majority nations. The program drew upon traditional and contemporary music from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
