The Burlington Performing Arts Centre presents 4x JUNO nominee/7x CFMA winner Chris McKhool - "Earth, Seas & Air", a pay-what-you-can event !
Hailed as a “Children’s musical star” (National Post), Chris McKhool is one of Canada’s hottest musicians for young people. Chris has been delighting audiences with infectious songs and exotic world instruments for over two decades, reaching over 1 million children live in concert, and has appeared on Mr. Dressup, YTV’s Treehouse, TVOntario’s Crawlspace and the CBC.
In his Earth, Seas & Air shows, kids join Chris on stage to play a bevy of musical instruments he has gathered from around the world! These interactive concerts feature Chris on guitar and violin performing folk, pop, worldbeat, rap and jazz.
For almost a decade, Chris has taken his audience beyond the 3 Rs of ecology (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) to a new level of understanding of our global connection to forests, water and animals. Everyone leaves feeling that they can truly make a difference! By celebrating through music the respect we must hold for the planet and each other, children develop a strong sense of community and hope for their own future - the foundation for world harmony and peace.
Chris was just presented the Key to the City of Burlington for his work creating community through music. He is also a 4x JUNO Award nominee/7x CFMA winner. A champion of environmental issues, Chris created the World Largest Bicycle Bell Orchestra at Yonge-Dundas Square with over 800 bell ringers! He was nominated for a JUNO Award for Best Children’s Album, and won the Canadian Folk Music Award for Children’s Album of the Year! He's also a multiple Parents’ Choice Award Winner and a Green Toronto Award Winner, and was just inducted into the Burlington Performing Artist Centre Hall of Fame.
