Silk Road Music
since circa 1991
This fabulous Vancouver-based husband and wife duo introduces audiences to different cultures through music. Qiu Xia He is a virtuoso on the pipa, a Chinese lute with a wide range of expression. Multi-instrumentalist Andre Thibault plays guitar, oud, and percussion. The duo’s innovative approach uses classical Chinese music to promote cultural links with non-Asian traditions, reflecting the true multicultural spirit of immigrants in Canada. Beautiful and evocative music.
