Jeffrey Beecher Plays Upright Bass in Cave Temples of Dunhuang Replica at the Getty

In conjunction with the exhibition "Cave Temples of Dunhuang," musicians from the Silk Road Ensemble are in residence at the Getty in spring and summer 2016 to create pop-up musical performances inspired by the art and replica caves on view. Silk Road Ensemble is a non-profit organization co-founded by world-renowned cellist Yo Yo Ma. This innovative group of talented musicians explores how the arts are a key part of fostering cross-cultural understanding, deepening learning, and promoting innovation. A part of the New York Philharmonic, Silk Road Ensemble is under the direction of Yo Yo Ma and performs multicultural music on traditional folk instruments from the Chinese pipa (lute) and sheng (mouth organ), to the Japanese shakuhachi (bamboo flute), the Galician gaita (bagpipe), Indian tabla (paired drums), and Persian kamancheh (spike fiddle), and more. In this video filmed inside replica Cave 275, bassist Jeffrey Beecher plays a composition written by John Anderson, while comparing the modern-day traveler to the ancient pilgrim who experienced the introspective spaces of the Dunhuang cave temples.
