Live at the Library: LibraryBEATS Drum Circle with Otha Day (Valente)
Join us at Donnelly Field (behind the Valente Library) for a joyful celebration with musician and educator Otha Day!
A Drum Circle is a highly interactive group of people who play drums and percussion instruments together to create in-the-moment music. Through the experience of rhythm and sound we experience what it means to beat as one heart: we become a vibrant community. This drum circle will include playful and accessible rhythm activities, games, traditional ensemble pieces, songs and most importantly, improvisation.
No experience necessary; all ages can participate. No registration is required.
In the event of rain, this program will move indoors to the Community Room of the Valente Branch.
Funding for Vacation Week Programming: Live at the Library has been generously provided by the Cambridge Public Library Foundation.
