Best practice: shorter is better. Listings will often cut off the description after 2 or 3 sentences.

Inspired by travels around the world, Chris celebrates the multicultural mosaic of our country with songs about Bodhi Day (Buddhist), Carnival (Quebec), Chanukah, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Diwali, Eid, Halloween, Kwanzaa (Pan-African), Indigenous Traditions, Ramadan and Winter Solstice. Celebrate! is a window into many cultures from around the world and provides young audiences with a glimpse into the different customs, celebrations and festivities enjoyed in Canada. Traditional and original songs by Chris encourage us to share with our neighbours and friends and celebrate together, with kids joining Chris on stage to play rare percussion instruments from around the world. Spectacular special guest artists include Ernie and Maryem Tollar, Alberto Suarez, Aviva Chernick, Shannon Thunderbird, Donne Roberts, Rebecca Campbell, Chris’ musical friends from Sultans of String, and more! Thank you to the Arts and Culture Fund of the City of Burlington for their support of this concert.
