With Freshta, flutist Mark Lotz presents evocative music dedicated to the murdered Afghan women's rights activist Freshta Kohistani. He has brought together an exceptional international ensemble for this project. Through intense compositions and improvisations, they create a soundscape where contemporary jazz, chamber music, and world influences merge into music that is powerful, mystical, and deeply moving.
