      About: The highly acclaimed Silk Road Ensemble, featuring multiple Grammy Award-winner Yo-Yo Ma, will present a thrilling combination of world and classical music traditions. The concert program includes the world premiere of Sacred Signs, a piece by Uzbekistan's Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky commissioned for The Rite of Spring at 100.

      The three major sections of Sacred Signs represent summer, autumn and winter. The elements of the seasons are each inspired by one of the nine folk tunes Stravinsky used in composing The Rite of Spring and are titled after poems by Nicholas Roerich, designer of the original costumes and set.

      Roerich, who is credited with the central creative vision behind The Rite of Spring, spent much of his life traveling through central Asia, a compelling reflection of the legacy of multicultural inspiration at the heart of The Silk Road Ensemble's musical vision.

      The concerts will take place Sunday, September 30, 2012 at 7:30pm and Monday, October 1, 2012 at 7:30pm.

      Tickets are distributed through Carolina Performing Arts for more information about tickets click here.

      Location: Memorial Hall.
