In a dynamic, interactive show-and-tell style performance, Todd Green features over 25 unique and exotic instruments from around the world. He relates all the instruments geographically and culturally as he demonstrates unusual rhythms, scales and playing techniques from many different cultures.
Todd's goal is to "help bring down the barriers that divide us by experiencing other cultures through their music." With a custom-built system allowing him to layer instruments as he performs, his "high-tech one-man-band" takes students on a riveting musical tour that includes instruments such as the double-neck guitar, Afghan rebab, Chinese er-hu, Indian Bansurai flute, Arabic Doumbek, African kalimba and many more!
