Youth & Family Concerts

Rebecca Sheir, host

In this interactive musical and visual storytelling event, audience members will help shape the performance! Led by hip hop and theater artist Baba Israel, and featuring illustrator Louis Henry Mitchell, guests will be invited to play with vocal effects, trigger samples and synths, and learn how to beatbox as both the music and illustrations evolve in real-time. Baba and Louis will be joined by jazz and electronic woodwind artist Sean Nowell, Boston Symphony Orchestra percussionist Will Hudgins, bassist Mary Ann McSweeney, and host Rebecca Sheir for this musical and visual adventure. No musical experience needed, just a sense of curiosity and a celebration of our collective imagination!

In collaboration with the Norman Rockwell Museum.
