Remembering is more than a concert—it’s a powerful musical storytelling experience about identity, memory, and belonging. Acclaimed vocalist Meena Malik and masterful cellist Aristides Rivas weave together music and personal narrative to explore their journeys as immigrants, artists, and parents.

Inspired by a question from their son—“What is an immigrant?”—the program reflects on the traditions they carried from their home countries of Japan and Venezuela, the challenges of navigating grief and change, and the healing role music has played in their lives.

Though deeply personal, their stories resonate universally. Through song, reflection, and shared experience, audiences are invited to consider their own connections to home, heritage, and the memories that shape who we are.
