Chinary Ung

Cambodian composer Chinary Ung came to the U.S. to study clarinet
and  composition but was forced to stay when the Khmer Rouge
uprising broke  out in his home country killing millions.


Over the years he has helped many family members and friends
escape  that regime and has documented his struggles in
music. He talks to  Relevant Tones about his life and music.
