We’re thrilled to announce that Silkroad will be gracing the stage at the renowned Big Ears Festival this year! We're so excited to share our passion for music with you all; see you in Tennessee!
Here's a sneak peek at our upcoming tour dates for the next couple of months! We're hitting the road to share our passion for music and cultural exchange with audiences far and wide. Check out the schedule to experience the magic of Silkroad live. We'd love to see you there!
We're so proud of the incredible group of artists we work with. Witnessing the countless hours of hard work and practice they pour into their performances is truly inspiring. It's a reminder that success is a journey of dedication, persistence, and love for the craft.
Three years ago, we launched the pilot phase of Silkroad Connect, through which we've gained insight into how to bring the music and art of Silkroad to middle school classrooms. We've continued to learn and reflect, and cannot wait to see what the future of this program brings!
Let's rewind to the early days of Silkroad! Check out this photo from 2003 featuring (from left to right) Shane Shanahan, Kojiro Umezaki, and Wu Man attending one of our very first education programs during a museum residency at Peabody Essex Museum, MA. #SilkroadHistory
