Come see John Porcino Saturday 8/9 10:30AM!

Together, we’ll embark on a whirlwind tour of the world. Our journey with start with a lively show

featuring funny and heartwarming stories and music from several diverse cultures. Next, John will treat

us to a soundscape of the earth’s people by briefly demonstrating of some of the 80 fascinating and

beautiful musical instruments displayed around the room, each originating from a different part of the

globe. Along the way, participants will also learn how to play the instruments. To finish, families can

enjoy a hands-on musical instrument "petting zoo," where everyone gets to explore and try the

instruments for themselves!
