Silkroad presents Train Station Trio, a series 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 U.S. Transcontinental Railroad and connecting railways in North America. In this one-of-a-kind Boston event, a trio of Silkroad artists will explore untold stories from these communities, contextualizing the railroad through music and reminding us of America’s intricately rich history.
During this event, we will also hear from Boston-based Latin Baroque ensemble Rumbarroco, who will tell a critical part of the American Railroad story that was missing in our narrative from the Mexican community.
ArtsThursdays is a university-wide initiative sponsored by Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA).
