ABOUT THE SHOWS
Walking Through The Fire
Award-winning First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists performing with 3x JUNO Award nominees Sultans of String, WALKING THROUGH THE FIRE is a musical multimedia event unlike any other! From Métis fiddling to an East Coast Kitchen Party, Rumba to Rock, to the drumming of the Pacific Northwest, experience the beauty and diversity of music from Turtle Island/Canada with Alyssa Delbaere-Sawchuk of the Métis Fiddler Quartet, Ojibwe/Finnish Singer-Songwriter Marc Meriläinen (Nadjiwan), and Coast Tsm’syen Elder and Singer-Songwriter Shannon Thunderbird performing on stage, as well as virtual guests on the big screen, including Dr. Duke Redbird, the Northern Cree Pow Wow group, and more!
Refuge
Based on the album and film that won Best Music Film at the Cannes World Film Festival last year, Sultans of String bring their unique brand of musical synergy and collaboration like never before with their most ambitious, diverse, and passionately inclusive concert. REFUGE puts the Toronto-based Sultans face-to-face with a VIP roster of artists from around the globe, who have fled the peril and persecution of their homelands for the safer shores of North America.
Christmas Caravan
Celebrate the season with an adventurous musical trip around the world! 3x JUNO Award nominees Sultans of String deliver an exuberant performance featuring originals, world-music inspired classics, and seasonal favourites to warm your heart on a cold winter’s night – from fiery fiddle tunes to a Caribbean sleigh ride!
Celebrate! Holidays of the Global Village – Young Audience
“Celebrate! Holidays of the Global Village” gives young audiences an exhilarating glimpse into the multicultural mosaic of Holiday customs, celebrations and festivities enjoyed in Canada – Indigenous traditions, Ramadan, Bodhi Day (Buddhist), Carnival (Quebec), Chanukah, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Diwali, Kwanzaa (Pan-African), and Winter Solstice.
