At this time Ian Maksin sings in 30 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 Leningrad, 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 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”ianmaksin.comfacebook.com/cellomaxxinstagram.com/ianmaksinyoutube.com/ianmaksinopen.spotify.com/artist/2OdXXipsrskFeePBpIdtc2music.apple.com/us/artist/ian-maksin/268783791Read More: https://redpoppyarthouse.org/event/ian-maksin-songs-of-love-peace-new-album-tour/ - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/san-francisco/ian-maksin-songs-of-love-and-peace-new-album-tour/100001980933976850 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, live-music, art, concerts, health-wellness, meditation - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 28.52, max: 44.52, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: San Francisco - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Red Poppy Art House - **lat**: 37.75421559999999 - **long**: -122.41453760000002 - **full address**: Red Poppy Art House, 2698 Folsom Street, San Francisco, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: IAN MAKSIN: "Songs of Love & Peace" New Album Tour - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/8cf712b663e7b322d07aefb2ec839b8da54fdf9a6cad1f09fe49e2e91b525209-rimg-w1200-h675-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1769227250 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is IAN MAKSIN: "Songs of Love & Peace" New Album Tour being held? - **A:** IAN MAKSIN: "Songs of Love & Peace" New Album Tour takes place on Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 08:15 pm at Red Poppy Art House, 2698 Folsom Street, San Francisco, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for IAN MAKSIN: "Songs of Love & Peace" New Album Tour? - **A:** Ticket prices for IAN MAKSIN: "Songs of Love & Peace" New Album Tour range from USD 29 to USD 45 depending on the ticket type.

It is a place for slowness and the nuanced intermingling of ideas and activities generally termed “art.” In this little room, we present a vigorous performance program spanning multiple disciplines and embracing both traditional and contemporary forms. We also host artist residencies, a socially-engaged professional development track,and assist in curating space for the neighborhood-wide bimonthly MAPP (Mission Arts & Performance Project) happening. Behind the scenes, we relish in the role of matchmaker, seeding new relationships wherever we can, among friends and strangers, artists, community members, people without communities, people from near and far, just about anyone that comes through the door. Our desire is to serve as a space of multiplicity, not defined by a singular culture or aesthetic, but as a well-spring of socially-engaged art and discourse that invites growth and transformation. If we had to name our dominant aesthetic, we would call it… “slow.”" } ] } ] ```
