Education Overview
We have a passion for education, and our goal is to inspire self-motivated learning through the arts.
The Silk Road Project provides a gateway to greater understanding of the world through active educational programs and resources and multidisciplinary explorations of topics inspired by the Silk Road.
Current educational initiatives include:
- Along the Silk Road, an interactive curriculum
- The Road to Beijing, a Silk Road Ensemble DVD with lesson plan
- “The Silk Road: A Musical Journey,” a live introduction to the instruments and music of the Silk Road Ensemble
Silk Road Ensemble members serve as artists in residence at Harvard University and Rhode Island School of Design. The Ensemble also conducts short-term residencies in museums and universities and workshops with music students. |
