I forgot the time and date in the last posting-so sorry!

The Highland Center for the Arts will be showing the film The Music of Strangers as a part of the Greensboro Free Library's summer reading program "Libraries Rock", celebrating both music and geology.

Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble star in this film following an ever-changing lineup of performers drawn from the ensemble's more than 50 instrumentalists, vocalists, composers, arrangers, visual artists and storytellers as they gather in locations across the world, exploring the ways art can both preserve traditions and shape cultural evolution.

Blending performance footage, personal interviews and archival film, director Morgan Neville and producer Caitrin Rogers focus on the journeys of a small group of Silk Road Ensemble mainstays from across the globe to create an intensely personal chronicle of passion, talent and sacrifice. Through these moving individual stories, the filmmakers paint a vivid portrait of a bold musical experiment and a global search for the ties that bind.

All ages welcome to attend this free event ($5 donation is accepted for the HCA but not required).
