Curtis musicians join performer and educator Gabriel Globus-Hoenich to take children through the world of percussion. This interactive exploration of rhythm is inspired by the children’s book Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb by Al Perkins, which tells the story of a band of monkeys that explore what hands can do. This performance will use percussion as a tool for communication, teamwork, creativity, leadership, and discipline.

Awakening a sense of wonder in listeners ages 5 to 12, Curtis Family Concerts share music with young audiences through interactive, educational presentations. These hour-long performances take place in a friendly setting, uniting entertainment with exploration.
