Back to List
Dear Friends,
Summer for me means music festivals and there is something so special about touring beautiful spaces and playing under starry skies. Twenty-four years ago, the very first workshops were held at the Tanglewood festival for what would grow into the Silkroad Ensemble. I still remember the incredible excitement I felt being part of an international group of musicians as something that Yo-Yo Ma and I had only talked about became a reality. I am so very happy to be back on tour in July with today's Silkroad Ensemble and our Artistic Director Rhiannon Giddens to perform the "Phoenix Rising" program, including a return to Tanglewood where it all began! The "Phoenix Rising" program is one of several this summer in which I will be premiering new works, ensuring that the summertime spirit of innovation and collaboration continues. I hope to see you along the way!
Warm wishes,
Wu Man, 吴蛮
