• Rare Opportunities October 14th & 16th to Experience Multi-Cultural Artist
  Students will have two chances next week to experience one of the great multi-instrumental, solo artists touring America today. Todd Green performs with 30 string, flute and percussion instruments indigenous to countries around the world. His concerts are called "culturally eye-opening" by those who have seen him perform. He's coming to Lamoni (booked at the last minute) and his concerts will be free.

  He will perform twice: Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at our Shaw Center, and Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Coliseum Theatre downtown. At the Shaw Center performance Green will interact with the audience, and have some fun with GU music professor Jack Ergo with a lecture/talk back session - Ergo teaches ‘World of Music' at Graceland. You should experience this high-tech, one-man band who transforms his study of history, extensive multi-cultural experiences in the Middle East, Asia, South America and Africa, and unique improvisation genius into "A World of Music."

  Spread the word to your friends about the remarkable Todd Green concerts. See you there!
