Silk Road Ensemble at Emory

• Rhiannon Giddens, voice, banjo, & fiddle

Led by artistic director Rhiannon Giddens, Silkroad Ensemble's newest initiative, American Railroad, re-contextualizes the railroad through music. Chinese traditional music on the suona and pipa are contrasted with the fiddle and banjo of Black musical traditions, or their Indigenous and Celtic counterparts. These cultural intersections reveal a thread of commonality despite their varied origins and remind us of the intricately rich American story.
