"Telling the World's Story through Music"

Comprising Juilliard graduates Shawn Wyckoff (flute), Maria Millar (violin) and Michael Haas (cello), Silver Roots - formerly the Spectral Ensemble - performs a rich blend of folk music from over 15 countries and classical music spanning 400 years. Weaving it all together are Silver Roots' original compositions - a pioneering voice in the realm of classical/world fusion - whose singular sound inspires audiences to their feet.

As unique as Silver Roots' music is each player's instrumental prowess. Their double life of performing classical music in concert halls while playing folk music in pubs and clubs has amassed an unparalleled treasure chest of skills. Luxurious tone, flawless intonation and driving rhythmic pulse are integrated with techniques indigenous to multiple folk and classical genres. In addition to their primary roles as flutist, violinist and cellist, the players draw upon backgrounds in acting, singing and dancing to turn concerts into unforgettable performance events. Improvisation takes it up a notch, infusing Silver Roots' shows with pure, dynamic energy.

If ground-breaking sound is what initiates listeners, the total Silver Roots experience is what truly captivates. Candid conversation, humor and drama are masterfully employed to draw audiences into Silver Roots' universe: a journey across borders, worlds and time steeped in legends and magic. Music and stories intertwine, paving the way for a rollercoaster ride of emotions, revelations, and ultimately, the desire to learn more. Audiences pepper Silver Roots with questions, sometimes shaping the very direction of a concert. Interaction and innovation are the hallmarks of Silver Roots.

Silver Roots is the recipient of a 2011 Canada Council for the Arts Composition Grant as well as a 2010 Chamber Music America Residency Grant. Since 2009, Silver Roots has premiered concert programs that include Echoing Voices: A Musical History of America (Lincoln Center - New York, NY), Japan Meets World (Japan Foundation - Toronto, ON) and Ancient Dances (Irish Arts Center - New York, NY). Echoing Voices was so popular that additional dates had to be added to its inaugural run, while reservations for Japan Meets World's premiere were booked within a day and the debut of Ancient Dances was sold out! Silver Stage - an initiative that encourages audiences to participate in concerts through storytelling, poetry writing, improvisation, roundtable discussions and musical requests - was introduced to local communities through a six-week tour of 10 states/provinces. With concerts and workshops in libraries, universities, concert halls, arts centers and even a bank, the tour was a celebration of Silver Roots' commitment to enchanting first-timers and seasoned concertgoers alike.
