The Silkroad collective has developed a virtual concert mini-series. Starting this week, Silkroad’s international musicians will be sharing short, musical performances on Facebook and Instagram — bringing music of comfort and joy directly from their homes into the larger community.
With social distancing in place in many countries, most concerts have been canceled and venues are closed. The Silkroad musicians want to keep the arts alive and continue to share music and build community with audiences worldwide.
Following the live stream, videos will be posted to Silkroad’s website for later viewing.
