Charly has become one of the world’s premiere storytellers and has been inducted into the McMaster University Alumni Gallery of fame, along with performance inductee notables like Martin Short and Eugene Levy and astronaut, Roberta Bondar.

Storytelling and music often gives students with learning disabilities an opportunity to showcase their talents and their strengths that are not always evident at school. Everyone has a story to tell and the language of music is universal. Charly uses his personal history as a framework for his message in his storytelling. Come and enjoy an evening of storytelling and music!
