The Silkroad Ensemble's Latest Program

The Silkroad Ensemble's latest flagship program with Artistic Director Rhiannon Giddens is Sanctuary: The Power of Resonance and Ritual. In this program, Giddens and the ensemble explore how to experience music to better understand the world, find comfort, process loss in a changing environment, and rebuild community based on humanity.

Music as a Response to Conflict

Historically, when people have found themselves in a time of conflict or stress, they have always turned to music. The idea of trance, something that can bring a deep peace that is hard to find in modern society, is profoundly tied to the communal music-making traditions found in many different cultures, from Morocco to India to Ireland, and is a way to build a stronger human connection amidst all the noise.

Exploring Music and Traditions

In Sanctuary: The Power of Resonance and Ritual, the musicians will delve deeply into one another's music and traditions.
