Concert Description

Violin sensation Chris McKhool gets children and families dancing, clapping, laughing and singing songs. Kids and their parents scat-sing, become a rhythm section and join Chris on stage to play rare percussion instruments from around the world! Chris plays several musical styles – jazz, blues, classical, Rumba flamenca, funk, world beat, East Coast fiddling – and more. Supported by his spectacular musical friends!

This is a rare opportunity to see these two stellar performers together on stage presented in a family-friendly style that embraces neurodiversity and disability. Therapy dogs will be present, provided by One Health Partners.
