Yo-Yo Ma and Silk Road Ensemble will perform in six cities of North America. The program they will perform will cover the topic of Classical Arabian Story of Layla and Majnun. The Silk Road Ensemble is an organization that was founded by the cellist Yo-Yo Ma as a nonprofit, cultural and artistic educational formation in 1998. “Within a decade our group has joined the lovely customs and new knowledge by examining cultural intersections”- says Yo-Yo Ma. Music masters together with Yo-Yo Ma will perform two programs showing the differences in cultures of the countries linked by Silk Road. The ensemble uses western and non-western instruments.
