A magical musical voyage in 30 languages beyond time and space with world renowned cellist, composer and multilingual vocalist Ian Maksin. From Bach to Blues and from West African grooves to rhythms of Mongolian shamans, Maksin magically connects some of the most diverse elements of world music into a unique fusion, using his cello as the unifying force. Using loop pedal and other electronics, he augments the sound of his instrument into a virtual orchestra creating a one-of-a-kind listening experience. Using the cello as a unifying force and singing in French, Italian, Farsi, Turkish, Ukrainian, Polish, Spanish, to name a few, he takes the listener along on a mystical journey around the globe.
 
In this concert Maksin will perform instrumental music from his latest releases Amor Renatus, Alchemist, Sempre, as well as songs from his collection of over 200 in 31 languages, joined by some Kew West's most talented local musicians. 
 
Additionally, we're providing limited tickets for an exquisite three-course dinner by Chef Martha Hubbard upstairs at Unity Table, prior to the show. Join us for an evening of music, community, and culinary delight!
