Musician Darius Kaufmann visited Idle Hour Elementary to perform, "Music of the Earth: Celebrating World Cultures and Our Planet”, an immersive, multi-cultural workshop, featuring exotic instruments from around the globe.

Kaufmann guided students on a captivating musical journey, where they “traveled” to different times and places through the sounds of the unique instruments. Throughout the workshop, students had the opportunity to listen to and engage with a wide range of instruments, including the South American rain stick, Native American flute, a wolf drum, conch shell and didgeridoo.

The program provided students with a deeper connection to nature and other cultures through the sharing of facts, myths and stories and the use of these culturally significant instruments.
