Franco Lorenzoni

How was music born into the world?

workshop
ages 7 to 11
60 minutes
25 participants

One day long ago a woman, man or perhaps a child discovered they could produce music. How did this happen? What emotions did they feel? With a special teacher we will have fun investigating this mystery and hear the mythical tales on the origin of music in the world.
