Fwd: Silkroad Ensemble community events

[Bob Midden]

Here is information about events related to the Silkroad Ensemble's visit to BGSU from Dr. Chris Witulski, a faculty member in the BGSU College of Musical Arts. Chris would be a good person to ask if you questions about these. Here’s info from their website: The Silkroad Ensemble is a Grammy Award-winning musical collective founded by cellist Yo-Yo Ma in 1998 to foster cross-cultural collaboration, inspired by the historical Silk Road trading route. Comprised of world-class musicians, composers, and artists from diverse traditions (representing over 20 countries), the group aims to create new music that bridges cultural differences and promotes a more inclusive world.
