Grammy Award-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens returns to Caramoor in her new role as Artistic Director of the Silkroad Ensemble. Phoenix Rising takes a cross-section of Silkroad’s award-winning compositions and arrangements and re-imagines them for today. Keeping an eye on the past, Silkroad and Giddens have also collaborated on new works that coalesce her unique worldview with the Ensemble’s collective experience during the pandemic. The program will include new commissions by Sandeep Das, Maeve Gilchrist, and Kaoru Watanabe as well as new arrangements by Giddens, Colin Jacobsen, Edward Pérez, and Mazz Swift.  

For those who prefer a more casual concert environment, Garden Listening tickets are $20, and are free for Members and children under 18 years old. Listen to the concert broadcast onto Friends Field (audio only) while enjoying a picnic, admiring a starry sky, or relaxing with the family. We recommend you bring your own seating for Garden Listening.
