Time Travel with Silk Road Dance Company & Tabla for Two!
How much do you know about the origin of the term “Silk Road” and the early Silk Road explorers?
On February 19th, you will have a chance to travel back in time and “meet” the famous Swedish Silk Road explorer Sven Hedin. He made three expeditions between 1885 to 1908, traveling to Baku, Isfahan, Tabriz, Tehran, Samarkand, Bukharan, Margilan and beyond.
Our Edwardian Evening on the Silk Road will combine dramatic readings from Sven Hedin’s best-selling books – presented by an actor portraying the Swedish explorer – with enchanting dance performances by Silk Road Dance Company from the regions he visited.
Before the formal concert, enjoy wonderful Afghani music performed by TABLA FOR TWO, a talented duo who will take you on a magical musical journey.
Edwardian attire is encouraged, not required, but here is a chance to don your Downton Abbey best. Or wrap yourself in Silk Road splendor instead. You can also attend in business attire and dress up for a photo in items from our Silk Road corner.
Doors open at 6:30 PM Formal concert begins at 7:00 PM.
