Silkroad presents Train Station Trios, a concert series generating new music as part of Silkroad’s multi-year American Railroad project, an initiative led by artistic director Rhiannon Giddens that illuminates the impact the African American, Chinese, Indigenous, Irish, and other immigrant communities had on the creation of the U.S. Transcontinental Railroad and connecting railways in North America.

In this one-of-a-kind New York performance, developed after working in residence at IAC, a trio of Silkroad artists will uncover untold stories from these communities, revealing a thread of commonality despite their varied origins, and reminding us of the intricately rich American story.
