Seasonal Celebration with the Sultans of String

Michael Newnham, Conductor

Celebrate the season with award-winning ensemble Sultans of String as they bring their globally inspired Christmas Caravan to the stage. Led by Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient Chris McKhool, this concert features a dynamic mix of seasonal favourites, reimagined through a world music lens. With influences ranging from flamenco and Gypsy jazz to Turkish and Caribbean traditions, the program includes inventive arrangements of Jingle Bells, Silent Night, Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, and Little Drummer Boy, alongside exuberant original works. This cross-cultural holiday celebration offers warmth, energy, and a fresh perspective on familiar melodies.
