Lydia
presents a lively collection of interactive music and folk tales
representing various cultures. The instrumentation is carefully
chosen to best portray the various musical styles. Children are
invited on stage to join in the performance using percussive instruments
from many lands. Thus the children participate in celebrating the
cultural diversity within our community, bringing a broader awareness
of the world of people around us.
Many of the
program's songs and stories are already familiar to the children,
and include international folk songs from Latin America, Africa,
the Caribbean, British Isles, France and Italy, plus some Early
American folklore.
