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”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksCbfq-YNgA - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/wood-dale/ian-maksin-in-wood-dale-il-lullaby-for-the-world-new-album-tour/100001783259439989 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, live-music, concerts, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 55.2, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Wood Dale - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Art Gallery Kafe - **lat**: 41.9638508 - **long**: -87.9771004 - **full address**: Art Gallery Kafe, 127 Front Street, Wood Dale, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: IAN MAKSIN in WOOD DALE, IL: "Lullaby for the World" New Album Tour - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/f3c1d5e538a0fdca16050c8cd59b03c372a8d05d0c2960f0a6ee91333bd764ff-rimg-w1200-h675-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1760383643 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is IAN MAKSIN in WOOD DALE, IL: "Lullaby for the World" New Album Tour being held? - **A:** IAN MAKSIN in WOOD DALE, IL: "Lullaby for the World" New Album Tour takes place on Fri, 05 Dec, 2025 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 05 Dec, 2025 at 10:00 pm at Art Gallery Kafe, 127 Front Street, Wood Dale, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing IAN MAKSIN in WOOD DALE, IL: "Lullaby for the World" New Album Tour? - **A:** IAN MAKSIN in WOOD DALE, IL: "Lullaby for the World" New Album Tour is organized by IAN MAKSIN PRODUCTIONS. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
