Presenting an Enhanced Educational Progam this year!!
Hammer Hands with Scott Williams
Scott has been considering starting lessons out of his home in Lake Forest in South Orange County or at student's homes depending on where Scott is performing. Scott is now a sales representative for MasterWorks hammered dulcimers, so quality instruments can be purchased or rented directly from Scott.
Teaching out of his home will allow Scott more control over instruction and will allow him better access to music books, the internet, amplification equipment, and tuners for better instruction.
Children are especially drawn to the hammered dulcimer whenever Scott performs on it. Sign up your child for a unique musical experience. Scott insists that a parent or adult be present during home lessons.
Lion Harp with Aryeh Franfurter
Aryeh will entertain you with his fiddle, Harp and a Swedish Nyckelharpa a "keyed fiddle." If you would like to know more about this rare and amazing Instrument come out and sit under the big oak tree for a world class show.
Highland Bagpipes with George Harcrow
A Member of Callanish Pipe Band will play and talk about the bagpipes.
The Callanish Pipe Band serves as the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Honor Guard Pipes and Drums. They've played for the Sheriff's Regional Training Center Academy Graduation ceremony, funerals, graduations, parades, major and minor league sporting events, and other special activities including the annual Blue Mass, a ceremony sponsored by the Knight's of Columbus, honoring the men and women of all First Responders (Police, Fire, Paramedics, and Sheriff’s Department). The Blue Mass brought together multiple pipe bands that played to honor those in uniform. We are proud to provide this service to those who keep us safe.

"We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within
themselves."
~Galileo Galilei
The Universe According to Galileo Show™ is a unique interactive show with the Maestro himself. With the "help" of his house maid Marina Gamba, Galileo entertains & discusses the fundamentals of the budding science of astronomy of his time. (Circa: 1608-1611.) With the ever popular, Planets on a Stick™, Galileo asks for volunteers from the audience to become a living model of the known universe based on the theories of Aristotle, Ptolemy and Copernicus, as well as, his discoveries made with the telescope. By adding a touch of wit, improvisation and a little Italian Commedia Del' Arte flavor, you'll not only be entertained, but have a good time learning something as well.
The show is somewhat family orientated (PG-13), the show is versatile and flexible to accommodate for a children's audience and adult audiences. The show can be done with as little as a few people for an up close and personal show, to a full audience and everything in between.
