| Gira del Silk Road Ensemble por USA (2010), con Cristina Pato |
La antigua Ruta de la Seda fue una red de rutas comerciales que entrecruzaban Eurasia desde el primer milenio aC.hasta mediados del segundo milenio dC., uniendo gente de diversas culturas y promoviendo una distribución sin precedente de ideas, arte, ciencia e innovaciones.
El Silk Road Project toma la inspiración de aquella ruta como metáfora moderna para el intercambio multicultural e interdisciplinario.Fundado en 1998, el Silk Road Project es una organización sin fines de lucros que conecta músicos, compositores, artistas y audiencias desde Asia a Europa y las Americas.
