Rock For Hope Concert
:: The legendary classical rock fusion band Indian Ocean, recently on the cover of Rolling Stone India, will be playing a benefit concert in Toronto to
support an important cause benefiting AidIndia, a
4-star charity rated by Charity Navigator.
Over 200,000 farmers have committed suicide over the past decade in India. 1 every 32 minutes in some states.
The crisis continues today in India's suicide belt as farmers succumb to droughts, failed crops and predatory loan sharks.
Aid India's thousands of volunteers in India and North America
work hand in hand with farmers and their families on sustainable farming and water harvesting techniques.
Because farmers don't need handouts. They just need the right tools, information and solutions!

Small World Music Festival ::
Small World is a celebration of cultural diversity expressed by one of the most potent tools available - music. It is based
on a vision of sharing cultural experience and ultimately, building bridges between cultures. It is about discovery and 'opening ears'. In this role, the company has presented many Canadian and Toronto
debuts by international performers; has given a platform to dozens of developing Canadian artists of various backgrounds; and has presented innovative, risk-taking programming that uniquely represents Canada
and Toronto.
The Small World concert experience can range from international giants of traditional and contemporary world music in the city's grandest performance spaces, to emerging local artists
in intimate club settings, from classical music rooted in centuries of tradition to cutting edge fusions where technology and history combine for the newest sounds.
