A CD release concert by Silk Road Music. Autumn Cloud is their 3rd 
recording . The concert  reflects the musical experiences and speaks 
the languages of the Journey of Qiu Xia He with her Pipa: from 
traditional Chinese to a Celtic reel; from a folk song to a 
contemporary classic; from a Spanish guitar piece to a flamenco 
rumba; add a Brazilian baiao, and a modern blues. Some of the 
compositions are by well know local composers: Jin Zhang, Mark 
Armanini and Celso Machado, as well as many pieces written by Qiu 
Xia He or with Andre Thibault, who is an important part of the new CD 
and show.  

Silk Road Music is a professional Chinese ensemble that has been 
touring and recording since 1991. It has a consistently successful 
rapport with audiences and their last two CDs have won Best World 
Music Album at the West Coast Music Awards. Their debut CD, Endless, 
was also nominated for a JUNO.  

“The new CD release concert promises to be a wonderful musical event 
blending the familiar with the exotic, all expertly played and absolutely 
captivating."
