The eighth edition of Small Worlds signature annual program will feature more musical voices and styles from around the world than ever before. And the growth from last year in the number of top-notch venues hosting events is an indicator that world music is becoming even more of a key thread within Toronto's cultural fabric.

This year, were delighted to be programming the music for Canadas premier book festival, Word on the Street, excited to be collaborating with the countrys finest music school during the Royal Conservatorys gala launch of the new Koerner Hall; and very pleased to offer two afternoons of free, family-oriented programming in association with our friends at Harbourfront Centre.

Artists this year will include, as always, an eclectic mix of Canadian debuts, returning favourites and local heroes, all of whom combine to offer Toronto music fans an engaging snapshot of the world music scene. From Zakir Hussains new collaboration with Bela Fleck, to Gypsy rockers Parno Grazst and Iranian powerhouse singer and dancer Saied Shanbehzadeh, weve got something special in store.
