"LET'S GO!!" Launching All Around This World's GLOBAL ORCHESTRA

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.
