This special show will be a Celebration of the Chinese New Year featuring four members of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble – Yang Wei on pipa, Sandeep Das on tabla, Shane Shanahan on percussion, and Shaw Pong Liu on violin and Erhu – along with special guests Ed Sweeney on 6 & 12 string guitar and 5-string banjo, and Lorraine Lee Hammond on Appalachian dulcimer. The Silk Road Ensemble was formed by Yo-Yo Ma in 2000. The Ensemble’s music is contemporary and ancient, traditional and innovative, drawing on many traditions from around the world to create a new musical language that reflects our 21st-century global society.
