The Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma

Since 2000, the Silk Road Ensemble has redefined classical music for 21st century audiences. Described as “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, the Ensemble features musicians from more than 20 countries, including spellbinding Syrian clarinettist Kinan Azmeh. They come together under the direction of renowned cellist and UN Messenger of Peace Yo-Yo Ma to co-create art, performances and ideas to fuse, exchange and explore an array of global cultures.
