Philly arts and culture community, LET'S GO! Join All Around This World LIVE IN PHILADELPHIA at 7pm on THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21st at Trinity@22nd (2212 Spruce Street) as we launch the Global Orchestra, a new, INSPIRING international network of musical teaching artists who will use singing, drumming and FUN to teach kids EVERYWHERE about the wealth of world cultures.

Join us for a global music performance by some of Philadelphia's most extraordinary musicians:

-- Alex Shaw - percussion / vocals

-- Patricio Acevedo (Chile / Andes) - guitar / cavaco / cuatro / vocals

-- Nathalie "Talie" Cerin (Haiti) - guitar / vocal

-- Youba Cissokho (West Africa) - kora

-- Qin Qian (China) - ehru

-- Senfu Stoney (rep. West Africa) - djembe / percussion / vocals

We can also confirm that there will be one...at least two...potentially THREE sing-alongs with Jay!

While the Global Orchestra will ultimately be teaching to, and performing for, young children, this "Let's Go!" event will be better for grown-ups.

The event is free, though this a FUNDRAISER to launch the Global Orchestra. After you register for tickets here, go to https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/all-around-this-world/campaigns/6481 to support this new music education project. Suggested per ticket donation $50.

(At the crowdfunding site you may also claim any campaign awards that match the amount you'd like to donate for your ticket; you don't have to donate once for the tickets and another time for the award.)

Remember: Parking at 22nd and Spruce isn't easy! If you drive make sure to leave time.

The network will make musical culture-bearers available for bookings both in person and online, enabling the network to include educators who can provide students with access to an extraordinary diversity of experiences, and allowing our teachers to reach children in rural or distant parts of the world.

2) THE GLOBAL ORCHESTRA PERFORMING ENSEMBLE: a multicultural performing ensemble composed of accomplished, culturally diverse musicians that will engage kids in concerts at family-friendly festivals and community events, fusing global genres in THE MOST INCREDIBLE CONCERTS FOR KIDS.
