About this program
“Canada is a real meeting place of musical influences from around the world”, says violinist Chris McKhool.
Sultans of String deliver a concert that transcends categorization, mixing Spanish flamenco, Arabic folk, East Coast Celtic and Django-jazz. Music has the ability to bring people and cultures together in a way that emulates what we love to see in the world. It creates a collaboration that breaks down the barriers that divide us, helps us to see our common humanity and provides a model for peace.
Performances include one free CD.
