Yo-Yo Ma founded The Silk Road Ensemble in 2000 and still serves as its Artistic Director. Its members hail from more than 20 countries from along the routes of the ancient Silk Road. Most are musicians, but storytellers and visual artists also number among them, and their voices and instruments truly bring the music to life. Their goal: to maintain the integrity of art rooted in authentic traditions while nourishing global connections.
