91原创 Community Music School (LCMS) is welcoming everyone in the community to its annual Family Intro to Music Night open house next week.

The highlight of the popular event, which is set for Tuesday March 14, from 6 to 8 p.m., will be a free children鈥檚 concert featuring renowned percussionist Bruce Henczel.

The free evening in the Rose Gellert Hall will begin with student performances, and the public are invited to take a hands-on tour of a variety of different instruments 鈥� from violin to saxophone and everything between, said the school鈥檚 early learning coordinator Tammy Hummel.

This is an opportunity to tour the facility, meet the teachers, and learn more about the school鈥檚 diverse music programs for students of all ages and levels, including classical, popular, and world music, Hummel explained.

鈥淭he children love seeing and hearing the concerts and demonstrations, and are overjoyed to be able to try so many different instruments in-person,鈥� she said.

Audience members young and old will then be treated to some heart-pounding fun when Henczel takes to the stage at 7 p.m. Showcasing a range of percussion instruments, he will perform an interactive program with rhythms from around the world 鈥� from African hand drums to Spanish flamenco on the marimba.

A performer, composer, clinician and teacher, Henczel is an active musician with two acclaimed recordings.

He has appeared on CBC Radio numerous times as a soloist and chamber artist, and was the concerto soloist with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, West Coast Symphony, the Vancouver Philharmonic, and the Kwantlen University Wind Symphony and Chorus.
