It just was incredibly collaborative and it was a beautiful blending of both our identity as an ensemble and their identity too.

What I really loved about that particular performance was Each one of the musicians in Silk Road brought something from where they were from.

The cellist was Armenian and one of the violinists brought a traditional Italian song.

We did some dancing.

I struggled with the dancing.

We did some singing too.

It was great.

part of what that mission is, is to really uplift our community in that way, to break down the barriers of what's possible and also just meet our communities where they are and fulfill a need that they have too.
