Event Description

Thanks to a generous bequest from the estate of Robert Leslie Welsh, WVML is known for its lively Friday Night Concert series. We’re so excited to continue sharing music with our patrons virtually—LIVE in your living room.

Celebrate the season with an adventurous musical trip around the world! Sultans of String will deliver a live performance featuring original songs, world music–inspired classics, and seasonal favourites to warm your heart on a cold winter’s night. They will be joined in their studio by vocalist Rebecca Campbell to perform their special rendition of Hallelujah, along with five other special guest artists who will share their musical traditions from around the world. This not-to-be missed Friday Night Concert will present a Turkish twist on Greensleeves, a flamenco-fuelled Carol of the Bells, Jesous Ahatonhia (Huron Carol with newly translated Indigenous lyrics), and more.

Special guests include:

Amir Amiri – Santur (72-string hammer dulcimer) player
Tamar Ilana – singer and flamenco dancer
Donné Roberts – guitarist and member of the group African Guitar Summit
Shannon Thunderbird – artist, educator, storyteller, and Tsimshian Elder
Maryem Tollar – Egyptian-Canadian vocalist and qanun player
