A Concert for Peace

March 23 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Join us for an extraordinary concert where the language of music from around the world comes together to transcend borders and foster global unity and harmony. Immerse yourself in the powerful sounds of the ancient frame drum performed by Ekwe visiting artist Yousif Sheronick (Yo-Yo Ma, Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass), joined by an eclectic group of MacPhail musicians with special guest musicians from the local community.

The evening’s music will feature themes of joy, celebration, harmony, and peace. It will mark the world premiere of compositions by Michael Cain and Barbara Cohen, along with the inaugural recipient of the Ekwe & Maia Dave Scholarship, Aaina Padith, whose piece will be composed in Chennai, India, and performed live in the hall via the Ekwe music app.

Performers will include Michael Cain (keyboards/piano/bass), Barbara Cohen (vocals), JD Steele (vocals), Zacc Harris (guitar), visiting artist Yousif Sheronick (frame drum/hand percussion), RimShots!/Paul Babcock (marimba/percussion), David Feily (guitar), Abinnet Berhanu (drums), and Joe Strachan (keyboards).

All attendees will receive a complimentary license to download the Ekwe music app.
