Silk Road Ensemble

About

Founded in 1998 by cellist Yo-Yo Ma, the Silk Road Ensemble is a collective of approximately 50 musicians and composers who are passionate about cross-cultural dialogue and the historical contribution of the ancient Silk Road to the arts. The Ensemble tours, with and without Yo-Yo Ma, in Europe, Asia and North America, presenting performances that highlight the nexus of tradition and innovation in music from the East and West.

'Off the Map' presents first recordings of compositions which Carnegie Hall commissioned and premièred in 2006 in partnership with the Silk Road project.

Discover music from established composers Osvaldo Golijov, Evan Ziporyn and Gabriela Lena Frank, and from an emerging talent, Angel Lam, each of whom contributed a new work for instruments native to the lands along the traditional Silk Road, using different combinations of strings and percussion.

The Silk Road Ensemble:
- Wu Man (pipa/Chinese lute)
- Kayhan Kalhor (kamancheh/Persian fiddle)
- Sandeep Dason (tabla/Indian drum)
- Kojiro Umezaki (shakuhachi/Japanese flute)
- Colin Jacobsen (violin)
- Jeffrey Beecher (bass)
