All ages. Experience the joy of music play TOGETHER! Award-winning musician Jim Gill strums energizing rhythms on his banjo while everyone sings, claps and dances along. TR

Jim Gill’s artistry is beyond the music. Each event is more than a performance to watch. 

Jim Gill has a unique approach to his concerts for young children and families. This is because his graduate studies in child development have convinced him that family play is more important to young children than music alone… whether the music is classical, folk or rock and roll.

Each one of Jim’s concerts is an ACTIVE sing-along and clap-along event. The concert is filled with songs and stories from Jim’s award-winning recordings and books for young children.

Check out the video for the finger play ("One From the Left") that has become a favorite song for lots of folks, and which will be part of the concert - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CX-jFsVtR4

Limit: 120. Free tickets distributed 30 minutes before the program on a first-come, first-served basis at the Youth Services Desk. TR = Ticket registration.
