The Karpovsky Variations
Julia Karpovsky’s father is brilliant, talented—and lives half a world away. Growing up among her eccentric and disparate relatives, Julia navigates her way through a family with a missing piece, searching for the elusive notes of her father’s clarinet. This musical story traces the Karpovskys’ encounters at airport lounges over two decades as they improvise what it means to be a family.
