Silver Trout Arts – “…So Many Ways To Share A Story”

Program Description

Silver Trout concerts are diverse, interactive and full of music and laughter. Multiple art forms including music, storytelling, puppetry and poetry demonstrate throughout that there are So Many Ways to Share A Story. Performances include an original puppet fable (a captivating story without words, performed to live music on the hammered dulcimer), dramatic storytelling, and award-winning original songs accompanied by music played on seven different instruments – including concertina, penny whistle, guitar, banjo and ukelele. There is even a Spanish-speaking sloth! The wide-ranging repertoire is adaptable to multiple grade levels. Programs specifically address curriculum standards from elementary (writing narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events) through middle schools (use movement, voice, and writing to communicate ideas and feelings). Most importantly, the concerts inspire students by offering a range of imaginative options for their own creative self-expression.
