~ 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!” – Kailin Yong
