UC Merced Arts 2024-25 Season: Silkroad presents, Train Station Trios

 

Featuring Silkroad Ensemble Artists:

Pura Fé Lap-steel Slide Guitar, Vocals
Shane Shanahan Percussion
Michi Wiancko Violin, Composer

Silkroad presents Train Station Trios, a series of open workshops generating new music as part of Silkroad's multi-year American Railroad project, an initiative led by artistic director Rhiannon Giddens that illuminates the impact the African American, Chinese, Indigenous, Irish, and other immigrant communities had on the creation of the Transcontinental Railroad and connecting railways across the United States. 

In this one-of-a-kind Merced event, a trio of Silkroad artists along with UC Merced faculty and staff will explore untold stories from these communities, contextualizing the railroad through music and reminding us of America’s intricately rich history.

 

Lead Sponsors: UC Merced Arts, UC Merced Dept. of History and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies, Merced Symphony, Community Foundation of Merced County, and Amtrak San Joaquin
