Description
The Grist Mill & Gardens invites you to experience an enchanted summer evening on the lawn adjacent to our historic 1877 waterwheel-powered flour mill. This show, featuring Silk Road, is the last in our series of four shows this summer.
ARTIST BIO
Silk Road
For over twenty years, Silk Road Music has been smashing stereotypes about Chinese music and taking Chinese instruments in new artistic directions. Its pioneering musical fusions have merged Chinese folk and classical music with Brazilian, jazz, Celtic, Spanish, Arabic, Aboriginal and blues music. Founded by Qiu Xia He (pr. Chu-sha Her) along with her partner, Andre Thibault, the ensemble has earned a Juno nomination, two West Coast Music Awards and two Canadian Folk Music Award nominations. Most recently, the group has begun exploring sinified flamenco music and performing on-stage with flamenco dancers.
For world music enthusiasts who delight in cross-cultural fertilization, Silkroad will excite your senses and gently challenge your musical sensibility.
KEY CONCERT SERIES INFO
Through the summer of 2013, the Grist Mill and Gardens at Keremeos will be hosting a handful of exceptional artistsÃÂ in July and August for an evening concert series in our picturesque Historic Site. Unless otherwise noted, doors open at 6:30PM and concerts start at 7:00PM.
You are encouraged to bring your own blankets and low-rise beach chairs; higher lawn chairs are also welcome, but you may be asked to sit in the back to avoid obstructing the view of others.

The Grist Mill & Gardens and the Similkameen Wineries Association will be operating a concession at each show.
