What type of music does the Silk Road Ensemble perform?
The Silk Road Ensemble performs music that is rooted in the heritages of the countries along the historic Silk Road, both traditional pieces and newly commissioned works that spring from some of today’s most exciting musical crossroads. Rather than fitting into narrow categories of classical, fusion or world music, the Silk Road Ensemble’s repertoire reflects the multicultural reality of many contemporary composers’ and musicians’ lives.
