Sticks, Stones and Bones
Friday, June 2 – 7:30 PM
What do you say about music that speaks for itself?
What would happen if you put a clarinet, a slate marimba, and a bay leaf in a pot and let them simmer for the evening?
How about the next day when you tell a friend, “I didn’t know that the instruments could make those sounds. I’ve never heard anything like it. You just had to be there, in the room.”
Well, you can’t say that you weren’t invited! You can be one of the people who knew this was happening here in Coeur D’Alene.
Come hear world renowned percussionist Brad Dutz and clarinetist Jim Sullivan and be amazed! Pick up your jaw off the floor later.
