Arn Chorn-Pond:

On Hope, Healing, and

the Power of Music

with performances by

The Orchestra on the Hill

​

First Church in Ipswich

1 Meetinghouse Green

Ipswich, MA

​

This sold out event inspired the audience. Arn's told his story of survival at the hands of the Kmer Rouge in Cambodia, his rescue, and his life in America since then. The Orchestra performed two original pieces by Greg Naeger and Thomas Palance inspired by Arn and the Cambodian music he has resurrected. Arn accompanied the Orchestra, playing Cambodian flute, in Thomas Palance's composition.
