“What makes the Silkroad Ensemble tick is its wonderful juxtaposition of cultures, instruments, ancient works and new compositions…East may be east, and west may be west, but seldom have the twain met so joyously.”—Seattle Times
Led by artistic director Rhiannon Giddens, Silkroad Ensemble’s newest initiative, American Railroad, re-contextualizes the railroad through music. Chinese traditional music on the suona and pipa are contrasted with the fiddle and banjo of Black musical traditions, or their Indigenous and Celtic counterparts. These cultural intersections reveal a thread of commonality despite their varied origins and remind us of the intricately rich American story.
