Andre’s String Stories concert is an antidote to the divisions and cultural insensitivity we’re all seeing in the world today. Motivated by an intentional desire to bring people together in respect and understanding, Italian born Feriante has created a program with an emphasis on hope, compassion, peace, and finding common ground through music. Throughout his decades of performing he’s often been thanked for the calming and healing aspects of his music. Multi-instrumentalist Andre Feriante has evolved with his Flamenco Fusion roots to create a world music experience featuring both known and exotic string instruments featuring music from a variety of cultures. This is a unique chance to hear instruments and musical styles that are seldom heard by today’s audiences. The World Music program may include classics from the American songbook, standards, original Latin based themes, middle eastern flavors, classical and baroque themes, South American and African fusions.
