Canadian Sultans of String perform Saturday
Canadian musicians Sultans of String will perform at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 13, in the Bluffton Town Hall Concert Series, according to Jeff Yoder.
The Sultans are three-time JUCO nominees (Canada’s Grammy) and have charted songs on Billboard.
Folk Radio UK recently described their music as “an enthralling, adventurous celebration of the power music has to transcend geographical and cultural boundaries, and Sultans of String wield that power with grace, eloquence and spirit.”
The group has performed across North America including performances at Lincoln Center, Birdland, Boston's Scullers and the San Jose Jazz Festival.
They recently sold out Koerner Hall (Toronto’s Carnegie Hall), and performed with Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Stratford, Ontario and Niagara symphony orchestras, and with Kingsfield Pops in Maine and Maryland’s Annapolis Symphony.
Sultans of String were filmed by MPBN’s Maine Arts! in a feature concert, and have performed live on BBC TV, BBC Radio, Irish National Radio, and the internationally syndicated shows WoodSongs, World Cafe, and on SiriusXM in Washington.
