Silkroad Ensemble
Artistic Director: Rhiannon Giddens
Conceived by Yo-Yo Ma and now under the artistic leadership of Rhiannon Giddens, Silkroad Ensemble creates music that engages difference, sparking cultural collaboration and high-quality arts education to help build a more hopeful and inclusive world.
The Silkroad Ensemble has been called “vibrant and virtuosic” by The Wall Street Journal, “one of the 21st century’s great ensembles” by the Vancouver Sun, and a “roving musical laboratory without walls” by The Boston Globe.
This new, multi-year partnership will be embedded in the Quick’s Arts for All program, creating informed arts education programs for grades K-12. It will also offer Silkroad Ensemble the opportunity to create new work with a particular focus on how music and the arts impact our health.
