“Lullaby For The World”

New Album Release Tour

“Prepare to be mesmerized on many levels” - Boston.com 

World-renowned cellist and composer Ian Maksin will release his new album, “Lullaby For The World”, on November 13, 2025. This moving collection of lullabies from around the globe are reimagined through Maksin’s singular artistry and delivered as an important message of love, peace, and unity in an era marked by turbulence. 

“To me, a lullaby is a symbol of parental love and proof that peace can be transmitted from one person to another through music. Given the state of the world right now, I believe we all need a lullaby to regain the peace we so desperately need,” says Maksin. Beyond their healing ability, Maksin sees lullabies as archetypal songs that carry our collective musical DNA through generations. 

“Lullaby For The World,” Maksin’s eighth career album, features ten traditional lullabies in languages including Farsi, Hindi, Finnish, Kyrgyz, Japanese, French, Ukrainian, Armenian, and Ladino, alongside four original instrumental lullabies composed by Maksin. With each track, Maksin reworks ancient melodies with the resonance of a single cello, using loop pedal layering, octave effects, and ambient delay to create his signature “one-man orchestra” technique. The result is a sonic mosaic that feels both intimate and expansive with deep cello vibrations engaging listeners on a visceral level and transcending linguistic barriers. 

Every lullaby on the album carries a culturally rich story. “Jhoola Jhoole,” a devotional song Maksin first encountered in a Krishna temple in New Delhi, became a centerpiece after his travels to India and the Himalayas earlier this year. During a recent tour in Armenia, the birthplace of his mother, Maksin discovered “Ari Im Sokhag,” a hauntingly beautiful and minimalistic traditional piece he describes as one of the most stirring moments on the album.   

Often described as a “musical citizen of the world,” Maksin has built his career by blending classical training with a passion for cultural exploration. He has performed across continents, learning traditional songs in their native lands and bringing them into his ever-evolving repertoire. With “Lullaby For The World,” Maksin continues this lifelong mission of unity through music.
