Family Music Fun with Will!

Original and traditional songs for young people of all ages! Driven by audience participation, Will's songs get kids moving, grooving, and singing. A Naturalist by trade, many of his tunes are environmentally themed, but many are just plain fun! High energy performances focus on positivity, joy, and learning through curiosity.

Come follow Paul and Babe from Lake Itasca in Northern MN all the way to New Orleans as they make new friends and hear/learn about many different styles of music. This musical story features the oboe, English horn, and four different saxophones (with each instrument representing a different character), and the audience will hear a variety of music including baroque, classical, blues, and jazz as they travel with Paul and Babe down the Mississippi River in search of the blues!

Great Lakes-centric poet and artist Moheb Soliman brings his debut collection HOMES, finalist for Minnesota Book Award and several others, for a reading and discussion.
