Ian Maksin – Songs of Love & Peace

February 11 @ 7:00 pm

IAN MAKSIN in POWELL RIVER BC: SONGS OF LOVE & PEACE
New Album Concert Tour

SONGS OF LOVE & PEACE: an amazing multilingual journey in search of comfort, healing and empowerment through music. Get immersed in the deep sounds of Ian Maksin’s soulful one-man-cello orchestra, paired and blended with his vibrant voice, as he explores a collection of traditional songs from different corners of the world: Japan, Finland, Bosnia, Iran, Ukraine, Armenia, India, Kyrgyzstan, and Medieval France and Spain, woven together with original instrumental works.

His latest release reflects the path of a true musical globetrotter: a sonic offering shaped by countless journeys across continents as a touring artist, along with mountaineering, flying airplanes, practicing meditation, and collaborating with local musicians in search of the mystical thread that connects all cultures.

This album invites listeners into a space of presence, clarity, and emotional restoration. In addition to music from the new album, Ian will perform works from his earlier opuses—The Alchemist, Amor Renatus—as well as selections from his vast repertoire of over 300 songs in 43 languages.

With loop pedal and other electronics, he transforms the cello into an entire orchestra, merging timeless global traditions into an unforgettable, immersive, and deeply personal experience.
