Film Screening: The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble
"The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble" presented in partnership by The Hamptons Festival of Music & EH Library
Join us for a screening of "The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble" presented by The Hamptons Festival of Music and The East Hampton Library.
"The Grammy-nominated documentary The Music of Strangers, follows members of the Ensemble as they gather in locations across the world, exploring the ways art can both preserve traditions and shape cultural evolution.
Blending performance footage, personal interviews, and archival film, Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville and producer Caitrin Rogers focus on the personal journeys of a small group of Silkroad Ensemble mainstays — Kinan Azmeh (Syria), Kayhan Kalhor (Iran), Yo-Yo Ma (France/United States), Wu Man (China), and Cristina Pato (Spain) — to chronicle passion, talent, and sacrifice. Through these moving individual stories, the filmmakers paint a vivid portrait of a bold musical experiment and a global search for the ties that bind." (Provided by Publisher)
