If you have never heard a didgeridoo played, now is your chance. Steve Sklar and Johnna Morrow will be at the Grand Marais Library on Wednesday, Oct. 25 at 6 p.m. to play the ancient aboriginal instrument for you.
The Grand Marais Public Library will host Johnna Morrow and Steve Sklar presenting “Didgeridoo: Musical Trees From Down Under,” a free program being offered for ages 10-adult at the library at 6 p.m. October 25.
Explore the ancient Australian aboriginal instrument and its role in cultural contexts. Johnna Morrow and Steve Sklar present songs and animal sounds such as dingos, crocodiles, wolves, and kookaburras. The didgeridoo is a product of a symbiotic relationship between the earth, trees, termites, and humans. It has a broad range of uses, including artistic, spiritual, storytelling, healing, and fun.
They’ve learned from several top Australian aboriginal didgeridoo artists, and in 2011 founded the Worldwide Sleep Apnea-Didgeridoo Network, which serves sleep apnea patients, clinics, and care providers by connecting them with local didgeridoo instructors.
This program, sponsored by Arrowhead Library System, was funded in part or in whole with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. To learn more about Arrowhead Legacy Events, please see our calendar at www.alslib.info
