"Paper Pianos" is a portrait piece about Milad Yousufi, a young refugee from Kabul, Afghanistan, whose life was threatened by the Taliban for pursuing music. According to the Taliban, music is forbidden in Islam. "You are not a kid" is the first movement of a larger work sharing Milad's incredible life story. It focuses primarily on his childhood during the civil war and integrates a prerecorded backing track excerpted from Mary's interview with him. This piece is dedicated to Milad, who despite the challenges this world has presented him with, carries an inspiring amount of optimism and joy for humanity.
