Along the Silk Road: Haunting Uyghur Melodies
  • Edinburgh Fringe

The Silk Roads most driving and haunting folk music comes from Altai, the mountain crossroad of cultures where China, Russia, Mongolia and Kazakhstan meet. The mysterious music of the talented Uyghur and Kazak people combines Middle Eastern and traditional Chinese elements. Some western classics will also be played to suit the tastes of different audiences. The orchestra's performance at the Golden Hall, Vienna, was widely praised and acknowledged an excellent example of a Chinese wind band. You don't want to miss it!

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
