Act I:

In partnership with Origins Cafe, Justin will lead a percussion workshop and concert experience beginning at 10:30am. Participants will first be guided in making percussion instruments from natural materials. Then workshop participants will learn the funky hip-hop rhythms and beats played on the bucket. This workshop culminates in a full group piece for buckets and homemade instruments. All materials, including buckets and sticks will be provided. Appropriate for ages 7 and up.
