~ About the Peace Project ~
Music
has the power to reach across boundaries, spreading joy and
understanding like nothing else can. Kailin Yong Peace Project comes to
Nederland in this spirit with a fantastic afternoon of original music
rooted in his exploration of the cultures of the world, bringing
charming melodies from many lands home to share.
Kailin’s
music explores the commonalities between world cultures and celebrates
the colorful differences between each of us and shows us that it is
possible that with an open heart and open mind, we can all co-exist on
this planet in harmony.
"Through
music, we discover that there is no 'them and us,' and the reality of
our all being connected as one becomes clear. This is the vision put
forth in Kailin Yong's music. We hear the musical styles of the Middle
East, Asia, Europe, and the Americas … Everyone finds a welcome." —
Cameron Powers, Musical Missions of Peace
Many
talented artists will join Yong to share their experiences, art, dance
and poetry toward a musical mission of peace. He will be supported by
Brett Bowen on middle-eastern percussion, Charlie Mertens on bass, and
Jesse Manno on oud, saz, and drums.
Come out and join
us for this magical evening of “Music that inspires you to climb out of
your crowded head and plunge into the vast ocean of your heart!” –
