Today we have the internet to share things; but before, there was the World Expo. When Ravel and Debussy went to the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris, they came across gamelan music and the dance of Java. They absorbed it, and used the combination. It’s music that's borne out of absorbing new ideas and cultures, and now, to our ears, it sounds quintessentially French.

#Paris tomorrow with the Silk Road Ensemble. In 1941, my father's dissertation at the Sorbonne was published. The topic was 'La musique chinoise du style Europeen.' 60 years later, in 2001, the Silk Road Ensemble made its first world tour across three continents, addressing a similar idea: we performed music that spanned the Mediterranean to the Pacific, joining millennia-old traditions with contemporary forms, celebrating and connecting tradition with innovation. It is particularly moving to me that we are performing at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées, which opened in the heyday of Debussy and Ravel only 24 years after the Exposition Universelle where they first encountered gamelan music and other musics from around the world. This transformational moment had two results: the invention of a new 'world classical music', and music that became and remained even more quintessentially French. At Silk Road, for the past 15 years, we have been modeling this same value of joining tradition with innovation. We hope you will join us tomorrow in our continuing exploration.
