Didgeridoo presentation at the Grand Marais Library Wednesday

The Grand Marais Library is hosting a very interesting program on Wednesday, October 25 at 6 p.m.
Johnna Morrow and Steve Sklar will present Didgeridoo: Musical Trees from Down Under.

Everyone is invited to explore the ancient Australian Aboriginal instrument and its role in cultural contexts. Johnna and Steve will present songs and animal sounds such as dingos, crocodiles, wolves, and kookaburras. The digeridoo is a product of a symbiotic relationship between the earth, trees, termites, and humans. It has a broad range of uses, including artistic, spiritual, storytelling, healing, and fun!
 
Johnna and Steve learned from several top Australian Aboriginal didgeridoo artists, and in 2011 founded the Worldwide Sleep Apnea-Didgeridoo Network, which serves sleep apnea patients, clinics, and care providers by connecting them with local didgeridoo instructors.
 
This library program, sponsored by Arrowhead Library System, was funded in part or in whole with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
