Join us at Guthrie Green for a free presentation of the Silkroad Ensemble featuring Rhiannon Giddens performing “Sanctuary: The Power of Resonance and Ritual” on Friday, June 19 at 8 p.m.
This exciting program is presented in connection with “Of the People: The Smithsonian Festival of Festivals,” a series of programs and exchanges marking the 250th anniversary of the United States and showcasing the nation’s remarkable cultural landscape. These programs bring the spirit of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival—the institution’s largest and longest-running event—to community festivals in several states and territorial.
This project received funding from the Smithsonian’s “Our Shared Future: 250,” a Smithsonian-wide initiative supported by private philanthropy and created to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary and advance the Smithsonian vision for the next 250 years.
Support for Silkroad’s America 250 programming is generously made possible by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the National Endowment for the Arts.
