Thirteen Strings with Composer, Conductor, Performer Dinuk Wijeratne
Join “exuberantly creative” (New York Times) composer-conductor-performer Dinuk Wijeratne for his highly anticipated debut with Thirteen Strings in an evening that promises to transport audiences across continents and cultures. Dinuk brandishes his triple-threat talents as composer, conductor, and performer, demonstrating why this JUNO-winning, pioneering artist remains one of Canada’s most sought-after classical musicians today.
Shawn Mativetsky—Canada’s leading ambassador of the tabla—joins as special guest. Like Dinuk, Mativetsky is a pioneer in bridging Eastern and Western musical worlds, making him the perfect collaborator for Wijeratne’s exploration of cross-cultural soundscapes.
