Syrian sings with refugee orchestra

Concert highlights cultural contributions made by those who have fled war abroad

Performing Puccini to a rapt New York audience, her soprano voice soaring to the rafters, Lubana al-Quntar may be the last person most US citizens would think to be a Syrian refugee.

But half-an-hour's drive from Donald Trump's campaign headquarters, she and dozens of other classically trained refugees gave a special concert at the close of World Refugee Day to highlight the cultural contributions made by those who have fled war abroad.
