SILKROAD | Biko - Phoenix Rising Tour 2022

Silkroad Ensemble feat. Rhiannon Giddens plays a cover of "Biko," composed by Peter Gabriel and arranged by Colin Jacobsen at Tanglewood Music Center for their Phoenix Rising Tour in 2022.
Silkroad's Phoenix Rising concert series is a musical rebirth and celebration that serves as collective grieving song and clarion call, uniting audiences through varied cultural experiences to model our vision for a more peaceful and just world as we emerge from a long and stunning upheaval. Keeping an eye on the past while looking towards the future, members of the Silkroad Ensemble perform new works that coalesce Artistic Director Rhiannon Giddens' unique worldview with the Ensemble's collective experience through the pandemic.
