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.

Tabla for Two Returns to Erie

Abigail2019-01-07T20:27:28+00:00February 6th, 2014|News|

We appreciate this wonderful article in the Erie Reader. Thank you to Ben Speggen!

The house is warm and gorgeous, open and inviting – filled with art, people, and wine. It’s a who’s who of art and culture, from artists to musicians to collectors to appreciators – all laughing, talking, preparing for the concert that’s about to take place.

Have you seen them before? one man says to another in between sips of wine. They’re mesmerizing.

Absolutely hypnotic, a woman punctuates her description of Tabla for Two before peeking into the room where they musicians have set up. If you’re not witnessing them, you’re missing out.

With our glasses of wine refilled, we make our way into the intimate concert space, and settle in, right in front, sitting on the floor with our legs crossed and ears open, because unlike others here, we haven’t seem them before and we don’t want to miss out.

Tabla for Two featured in Erie Times News

Abigail2019-01-07T20:27:28+00:00January 25th, 2014|News|

Thank you to Stephanie Hall-Cabelof for this beautiful article about Tabla for Two in the Erie Times. We are honored and humbled.

An excerpt:

Friends and colleagues consider Tabla for Two to be a natural reflection of Greenway’s other-wordliness. Debbie Vahanian, fine art appraiser and owner/president of Glass Growers Gallery in Erie, also attended one of the recitals. “It is clearly documented that music has a profound effect on the brain, with classical Eastern Indian music having the most significant healing capacity,” Vahanian says. “After spending an evening with Tabla for Two, I can clearly state that the experience heightened my awareness of a trusting power beyond me, of another accessible energy that is created from their music. Tabla for Two’s music is captivating and enthralling. As you listen, the regimented demands of everyday life dissipate. The synergy between the two musicians is emblematic.”
