Grammy Award-winning musician Oran Etkin’s Timbalooloo takes children on a journey around the world, exploring different instruments and cultures and discovering how vibrant global cultures form the backbone of American music and society. Don’t miss one of the few productions for young audiences to be embraced by major theaters and jazz festivals all around the world — from the Kennedy Center to Istanbul Jazz Fest, North Sea Jazz to Shanghai Theater! Timbalooloo is more than just a live concert. It is a comprehensive teaching method that started off in New York, but has been embraced internationally, including organizations like UNESCO, American Speech Language Hearing Association, and Mladi Ladi Jazz in Prague, which now trains young musicians to teach Etkin’s Timbalooloo method in Czech public schools! The method is inspired by the natural and fluent way that children learn languages at an early age and strives to foster fluency in the language of music in an intuitive and fun way. Best suited for ages 2 - 9 years old and their grown ups. Details and Tickets: go.rowan.edu/timbalooloo

The GRAMMY® Award-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer is known around the world as “an orchestra of voices” for its dazzling virtuosity and wide-ranging repertoire rooted in the renaissance, with continued expansion to include a wide range of classical, gospel, jazz, popular music, and a deep commitment to the commissioning of new compositions and arrangements. The Marie Rader Series is proud to present Chanticleer’s Music of a Silent World program, in which the ensemble sings the songs of the natural world and gives a voice to the otherwise voiceless rocks and stones and trees and rivers that share our planet with us. The program centers around a new arrangement of Majel Connery's The Rivers are our Brothers. “The goal,” she says, “is to give nature a voice. I wanted to allow these vibrant things to speak on their own behalf.” While inhabiting those voices, the program also explores what the world might be like without them. Repertoire includes music by William Byrd, Heinrich Isaac, and Robert Schumann, new arrangements of “Wildflowers” by Tom Petty and “The Weather” by Lawrence, and a new commission from Chanticleer’s composer in residence, Ayanna Woods. Runtime is 105 minutes with a 15 minute intermission. Details and Tickets: go.rowan.edu/chanticleer
