Langley Community Music School (LCMS) is inviting everyone in the community to its annual Family Intro to Music Night on Thursday, March 19, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Rose Gellert Hall.
The annual family event features a free children’s performance at 7 p.m. and includes student performances, plus hands-on opportunities to hear, touch, and try a wide variety of instruments from triangles to the cello – and everything in between.
LCMS Principal Carolyn Granholm said the staff looks forward to this evening all year long.
“It’s a wonderful chance to open our doors and share music with the community, and a joy to witness the excitement of children learning about different instruments,” she said.
The highlight of the evening is sure to be the unique and fascinating performance by the Tuneful Tinkerer, Joel Stobbe.
Whether demonstrating how the friction of human hair can turn into sound, explaining the workings of traditional instruments or creating an instrument out of everyday household items, the quirky musical inventor will take his audience on a fascinating and interactive journey that encourages kids of all ages to explore and have fun with sound.
