Around the World in Song! A Celebration of Song for Children and Families
The Guy Mendilow Ensemble opens up a world of music to children in this deeply interactive global adventure. Uplifting, funny and fun, the show starts with the premise that children deserve the respect and dignity of “real people.” With songs, stories and instruments from cultures worldwide, Around the World in Song! introduces children to the amazing ways people make music with their voices, bodies, and whatever else they find at-hand.
