- **Event Name**: American Railroad - Silkroad Ensemble featuring Wu Man
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 16 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: This compelling reimagining of Silkroad’s acclaimed American Railroad program features an intimate, powerful ensemble of eight world-class musicians led by internationally renowned pipa master Wu Man. 

The program weaves a sonic tapestry that honors the often-overlooked contributions of Indigenous and African Americans, along with Chinese, Irish, Japanese, and other immigrant communities who laid the tracks that transformed a nation.
