Music from the Silk Road

ABOUT

On Sunday December 1st at 3 PM at Northwards House, Berthine van Schoor (cello) and Megan-Geoffrey Prins present a fascinating recital entitled “Music from the Silk Road”. This programme takes the listener on an exotic and imaginary journey through several countries of the Ancient Silk Road, rich in colour, texture and style, like an intricately woven magic carpet, ending with a feisty and jazzy sonata by the acclaimed Turkish pianist, Fazil Sae. The Silk Road began in north-central China. A caravan track stretched west along the Great Wall of China, across the Pamirs, through Afghanistan, and into the Levant and Anatolia. Some of the routes went through Persia, India and over the Caucasus mountains. Its length was about 6,400 km.
