This VERY SPECIAL event will be two dynamic musical adventures in one: 

-- PARTICIPATORY COMMUNITY JAM @ 6:30pm

Calling all Philadelphia musicians...we know you want to be in this band! Bring your instruments to play along with the Global Orchestra. We'll get you in the Samba, Senegalese Sabar and Klezmer groove as we jam together on songs from the show. Musicians of all backgrounds and skill levels are welcome.

-- CONCERT FOR ALL -- Doors open @ 8pm

Both jam and show are FREE, though we're suggesting a $20 donation. (10% of ticket proceeds will go to the All Around This World TiME Fund, supporting international culture-bearers in need.)

All Around This World is a global music and world cultures program for young children and their families. West Philadelphia-based music teacher Jay Sand, who will be singing backup vocals and maybe even playing guitar in this very show!, developed the 300-song strong AATW curriculum to teach kids about the world through singing, dancing and FUN. 

Extending All Around This World's mission to embrace audiences of all ages, The Global Orchestra is an international community of culture-bearing musicians and musical teaching artists who celebrate the wealth of world cultures and INSPIRE HOPE.
