One Blue Sky Above Us - Assembly Program

Lydia and the Eco Trio, present 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 folksongs from Latin America, Africa, British Isles, France and Italy, plus some Early American folklore.
