About Sanctuary: The Power of Resonance and RitualIn Sanctuary: The Power of Resonance and Ritual, Grammy Award–winning Silkroad Ensemble and Artistic Director Rhiannon Giddens explore how we can experience music to better understand our world, find comfort, process loss and a changing environment, and rebuild community based on our own humanity.
The idea of trance — something that can bring us a deep peace that is hard to find in modern society — is profoundly tied to the communal making of music in many different cultures, from Morocco to India to Ireland. It is also a way to find a stronger human connection amid all the noise. In this program, the musicians will delve deep into one another’s music and traditions, inviting audiences to join them as partners and participants in the performance, instead of solely as passive bystanders.
Sanctuary: The Power of Resonance and Ritual will dive into traditions such as Sicilian tarantella with Mauro Durante and Francesco Turrisi, Moroccan Gnawa with Mehdi Nassouli, Indian Classical music with Sandeep Das, and American old-time music with Rhiannon Giddens.
For the first time ever, special guests Mehdi Nassouli and Mauro Durante will join the Silkroad Ensemble for this program.
