The Didgeridoo Down Under Show is an energetic fusion of Australian music, culture, art, science, comedy, character building, and audience participation. The didgeridoo has been played by Aboriginal Australians for at least 1,500 years, and is known for its otherworldly sound. During the show, we play a variety of exotic didgeridoos and worldly percussion instruments. We also use a multitude of props – maps, globes, artwork, puppets, motivational signs, and more – to deliver educational lessons and empowering messages. The program is very participatory, and several segments involve kids playing instruments, dancing, or acting out a story. We can adjust the program for various age levels. It’s interactive, educational, motivational, and super fun for all ages!

Our Aussie Funk Jam is an interactive and hands-on program. Participants learn how to play the didgeridoo, including vocalizing and creating simple rhythms, with our beginner instruments. We also explain how to make a “didge” with household items like cardboard tubes. The workshop is best for ages 8+, but it’s OK for mature youngsters too. Participants will be mesmerized, inspired, and motivated as they enjoy a one-of-a kind multicultural music experience!

If you are interested in participating, registration is required.
