Music From The Land Down Under

July 21, 2018 - 4:00pm

From the ‘Land Down Under” comes a unique sounding instrument that may remind some of a foghorn, or a seafaring whale or, the wail of a vast land - bearing beast.  It is, in fact, an iconic sounding trumpet - historically fashioned from a hollow tree branch, and employed initially within Australian Aboriginal Song.
