Program Description
Join us on an epic musical and scientific adventure, from the birth of the universe to the age of dinosaurs to the modern world. Multi-talented performers Rob Thomas & Tanya Gerard will weave didgeridoo world music and awe-inspiring projector visuals into a captivating and interactive program. Students will learn how the air we breathe was created; they’ll marvel at prehistoric creatures roaming primordial landscapes; they’ll explore a mysterious underground plant communication network; they’ll observe interactions between different animal species; and most importantly, they’ll learn how to protect our beloved Earth.
Throughout the show, Rob & Tanya will perform world-fusion music with their vast collection of Australian didgeridoos and various percussion instruments. Some students will be invited on stage to play clap sticks during one of their musical pieces. This show is interactive, educational, motivational and highly entertaining!
Rob & Tanya have performed at countless schools, libraries, festivals and other venues over 20+ years. They have produced music for numerous films, including the IMAX movie Sacred Planet.
