Featuring a Japanese flute called the shinobue, Irish folk drums, a cello, and a bass trombone-guess which instrument is which animal! Musicians from the Silk Road Project and Global Musicians Workshop join composer Bruce Adolphe to play his new-and-ancient tale plus new and improvised music on unusual instruments.
