Galloping into Spring
Following last year’s sold-out performance, Silk Road Music joyfully returns to the Richmond Gateway Theatre to celebrate the Lunar New Year — the Year of the Horse. This vibrant program embodies renewal, vitality, and the spirit of adventure as we gallop into 2026.
Audiences will be treated to a rich tapestry of sounds: the expressive pipa of Qiu Xia He, the shimmering sheng and bright suona of Zhong Xi Wu, the soulful guitar and oud of André Thibault, and the dynamic percussion of Philip Bélanger. The ensemble also welcomes Karley Yeung, a rising star on the erhu and Cantonese gaohu, whose artistry adds a fresh brilliance to the performance.
With limited seating, we encourage early reservations for this uplifting musical celebration!
駿馬迎春
繼去年一場售罄的音樂會後,絲綢之路音樂圖欣然回到列治文Gateway Theatre,與觀眾共同慶祝農曆新年 — 馬年。今年的音樂會充滿活力,象徵更新、朝氣與迎接2026的冒險的精神。
演出將呈現豐富多彩的音樂:何秋霞的優美琵琶演奏,吳忠喜明快的笙與嗩吶, André Thibault的深情吉他與烏德琴,以及Philip Bélanger的動感打擊樂。樂團還特別邀請新到加拿大的楊嘉慧,擅長二胡及廣東高胡,為演出增添嶄新光彩。
座位有限,敬請提早訂票,與我們共度這場充滿喜悅的音樂盛會!
