America at 250: Ritual, Rhythm, and Remembrance

Inspired by the Silkroad's newest program, Sanctuary: The Power of Resonance and Ritual, this collaboration between Silkroad, Tulsa Artist Fellowship and Greenwood Rising brings musicians and culture bearers together to explore how the arts preserve memory, confront difficult histories like the Tulsa Race Massacre, honor Indigenous stories of this land, and create space for healing and community. Through conversation and sound, we ask: what does the future of America sound like?

About Silkroad
Yo-Yo Ma conceived Silkroad in 1998, recognizing the historical Silk Road as a model for cultural collaboration—for the exchange of ideas, tradition, and innovation across borders. In a groundbreaking experiment, he brought together musicians from the lands of the Silk Road to co-create a musical language founded in difference, thus creating the foundation of Silkroad: both a touring ensemble comprised of world-class musicians from all over the globe and a Boston-based non-profit organization working to make a positive impact across borders through the arts.
