Ian Maksin continues his journey as a musical nomad, creating a unique fusion of musical traditions from across the globe through the empowering voice of the cello.Inspired by healing songs of the Navajo people, the trance-inducing grooves of the Tuareg people of West Africa, and the hypnotic shamanic rhythms of Tuva, Mongolia, and other nomadic cultures of Central Asia, he merges these ancient musical experiences with his own original music. Through looping and subtle electronics, he creates immersive soundscapes that envelop the listener and carry them beyond time and space — into a state of meditation, presence, and deep inner transformation.In addition, Maksin will share a few songs from his collection that currently holds over 300 songs in 43 languages including French, Italian, Farsi, Mongolian, Turkish, Kurmanji, Arabic, Ukrainian, Spanish, Greek, Georgian, Armenian, Hindi, and many others.Ian Maksin Official WebsiteIan Maksin YouTube ChannelIan Maksin on Apple MusicIan Maksin on SpotifyIan Maksin Official WebsiteIan Maksin YouTube ChannelIan Maksin on Apple MusicIan Maksin on Spotifyhttps://youtu.be/SDHfNaFb5RcBREAKING BOUNDARIES both musical and geographical, cellist, composer and multilingual vocalist IAN MAKSIN has created his own unique style by blending elements of different genres and traditional music from around the globe in a new way using his cello as the main unifying force.ONE-MAN ORCHESTRA:In addition to cello, he used an electronic device called the loop pedal, which allows him to create "loops" or layers by recording and replaying his own playing in real time.https://youtu.be/hCpYryCg65MSINGING IN 43 LANGUAGES: What began as a hobby and a passion for linguistics and travel has become part of a unique concert experience. At this time Ian Maksin sings in 43 languages including Ukrainian, Russian, English, Farsi, Armenian, French, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew, Mongolian, Bambara (one of the tongues spoken in West Africa) and many other exotic languages. Most of this repertoire was amassed by Maksin during his world travels, jam sessions and collaborations with local musicians. Many of his original songs and instrumental compositions are also infused with flavors of ethnic music from countries and regions where he drew inspiration from: Mongolia, West Africa, Middle East, the Balkans, Andalusian flamenco.THE GLOBAL MUSICIAN: Ian Maksin was born in the former USSR into a multinational family and grew up absorbing many cultures and traditions from an early age. He began playing guitar and piano at age 3 and cello at age 6 at the School for Gifted Children in Leningrad and then came to the USA at 16 to continue studies at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. After working for many years in the classical genre including a three-year tenure with the New World Symphony in Miami Ian has decided to look for his own musical path. His diverse musical experience, including playing rock and blues guitar and passion for jazz and world music has allowed him to take the cello to a new dimension and develop his own distinct style as a musician and composer. In Ian's own words: "At some point I realized that music is much more than mere entertainment. Music is one of the most powerful and unifying forces in the world, capable of healing, inspiring, bringing people together and bringing peace among them. I believe that cello will save the world”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmqD7zg9Huc https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/0cb08880-a7ae-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w1108-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/0cc87d50-a7ae-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w1110-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/0cd99450-a7ae-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w736-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/ian-maksin-in-chicago-power-of-cello/100001999170115632 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Music, Entertainment, Art, Concerts, Meetups, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 33.32, max: 33.32, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Chicago - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Art of Gallery - **lat**: 41.871736 - **long**: -87.6858955 - **full address**: Art of Gallery, 747 S Western Ave, Chicago, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: IAN MAKSIN in CHICAGO: "POWER of CELLO" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/44abc764392c8b3555fb43d7c32d1d2b98c7accebe23888a3e05577c07af87b4-rimg-w1200-h701-dc280808-gmir.jpg?v=1788450183 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is IAN MAKSIN in CHICAGO: "POWER of CELLO" being held? - **A:** IAN MAKSIN in CHICAGO: "POWER of CELLO" takes place on Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Art of Gallery, 747 S Western Ave, Chicago, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing IAN MAKSIN in CHICAGO: "POWER of CELLO"? - **A:** IAN MAKSIN in CHICAGO: "POWER of CELLO" is organized by IAN MAKSIN PRODUCTIONS. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at IAN MAKSIN PRODUCTIONS's events? - **A:** Attendees have given IAN MAKSIN PRODUCTIONS a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
