Saturday Barrie Concerts presents Billboard chart-toppers/3x JUNO nominees SULTANS OF STRING w/ special guests Rebecca Campbell and Ken WhiteleyAs winter crests and the mercury falls, everyone from your taxi driver to the music supervisor at the mall starts running timeless hits like "Jingle Bells" and "Silent Night." But for their Christmas Caravan show and album (which hit Billboard’s World Music Charts and the New York Times Hits List), Canada’s global groove wizards Sultans of String celebrate the holiday spirit with an adventurous musical trip around the world, featuring exuberant 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, this surprising and delightful holiday fiesta heats up when Sultans of String bring their signature sound to well-known gems such as Little Drummer Boy, Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, a Turkish twist on Greensleeves, Silent Night, as well as a Django-jazz-inspired Django Christmas, and a Rumba-Flamenca-fuelled Jingle Bells.
Joining the Christmas Caravan show at Barrie Concerts are very special guests Rebecca Campbell and Ken Whiteley.
Christmas Caravan is also a special awareness and fundraising tour for the UNHCR. As UNHCR fundraising partners, the band has raised over $11,000.
“Helping refugees is a cause we care about deeply because more than 80 million refugees worldwide are in desperate need of our support. They have every right to live a safe and dignified life as much as we do”, says bandleader/violinist Chris McKhool. “By supporting our partnership with the UNHCR, you are providing life-saving assistance to refugees all over the world.”
