Composer at Work
Composer Angel Lam rehearses her composition Empty Mountain, Spirit Rain with Jeffrey Beecher at a commissioning workshop at Tanglewood Music Center in Massachusetts. Collaboration between composers and performers is a hallmark of the Silk Road Project's commissioning process.


"Called “insistently eclectic” by the New York Times and commended for their “pure joy and unyielding virtuosity” by NPR Music, the performers in the Silk Road Ensemble draw on musical traditions from around the world."
