Welcome to Silk Road Ensemble's official web site. We hope that you enjoy this cultural and musical journey. The long, wide band of land from Turkey to China brought wealth and knowledge in both directions. For centuries after Marco Polo, the trade made Central Asia the main point of contact between West and East and created a unique and influential arts scene still flourishing today.
