Events Description
Billboard-charting Sultans of String create “Energetic and exciting music from a band with talent to burn!” (Maverick UK). Thrilling their audiences with their 3x JUNO nominated, 6x CFMA winning passport of Celtic reels, flamenco, Django-jazz, and Arabic rhythms, Sultans celebrate musical fusion and human creativity with warmth and virtuosity, in an immersive concert experience that could only be performed at The Westdale!
The band includes Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient Chris McKhool – violin, Kevin Laliberté – guitar, Drew Birston – bass, and Saskia Tomkins – nyckelharpa. Together they tell stories of Canada through live music accompanied by videos and large scale images, including the wild horses of Sable Island; Luna, the orca off the West coast of Canada; a sunrise in Auyuittuq Park in the Arctic Circle, and many more.
