Eurasia Consort presents music found on the Silk Road in East Asia. During the 6th century Buddhist music filled the region between India and China. Japan became a cul-de-sac of music and instruments. The new ensembles include kugo, hokyo, sho and shakuhachi, instruments available in the Shosoin, Japan, the world's oldest museum.
