The Immigrant Experience
All aboard the steamer to New York! It’s time to take a trip to a New World. What will you bring with you? What will you find when you get there? In this interactive music and history program, a talented trio of musicians bring a variety of immigration stories, pictures and folk instruments including the dumbek, guitar, jaw harp, tambourine, penny whistle, native American flute, tabor, bagpipes, clarinets, harmonica, bodhran, oud and riqq to demonstrate that American culture is woven from a patchwork of sounds and traditions.
