Time: 11 AM - Noon
Location:  Maryland State Library for the Blind and Print Disabled

Intended Audience: Children ages 12+ and adults

Take an immersive, multisensory journey into the world of ancient sound
through live demonstrations of instruments from the Pre-Columbian Americas.
These performance-based sessions give an inspiring introduction to ancient
instruments whose unique forms, scales, and sounds provide a glimpse into
the extraordinary cultures that created them.

We’ll learn about and experience the evocative sounds of fascinating and
little-known ceramic instruments like Whistling Bottles, Polyphonic Flutes,
Trumpets, Whistles, and Rattles; some faithful historical recreations, and
others original pieces from Melissa Foss's <https://melissahyattfoss.com/>
collection. You’ll even get to take a turn yourself, learning how to make
music with the Ocarina, a ceramic flute that has been made by many
different cultures for thousands of years. Come make music with us!
