“AN AMERICAN BAND – Featuring 20 local musicians from 10 countries, ALL THE RIVERS raises the voices of Vermont’s immigrant communities.”
“The mingling of diverse perspectives, backgrounds and experiences reflected in the band’s global musical melting pot is fundamental to this country’s identity.
In that sense, there isn’t a more American band in Vermont than this unlikely group of immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. And when All the Rivers formally introduce themselves and the nonprofit that shares their name to their Vermont neighbors at the Flynn next week, they’ll hope that their mission to foster cultural understanding and support for local immigrant communities isn’t lost in translation.”

“SIX LANGUAGES. TEN COUNTRIES. COUNTLESS MUSICAL TRADITIONS. ONE HOME—VERMONT.
A musical ensemble brings musicians from across the globe together. Hear from the group’s founder and guitarist Avi Salloway. We’ll also chat with Dr.Jules Wetchi, founder of a Congolese Catholic choir that now sings with the group, percussionist Assane Coly of Senegal, and guitarist and singer Cintia Lovo Arias, who was born in Colombia and grew up in the U.S.

Showing up for All the Rivers at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts on March 11 is one concrete, joyful, and powerful way we can stand alongside them.”

"They teach us empathy for each other," [Flynn Executive Director Jay] Wahl said. "They teach us the value of other people's perspective, of other people's stories, and that empathy helps us to relate to another and helps us become neighbors."
