About the Musical Storytelling Program

Join Powers faculty members at local libraries as they narrate this free series of original musical story performances that feature live music and age-appropriate stories for children. These interactive programs are specifically developed for children ages 3 and up, but all ages are welcome to attend. 

Our performers include Powers faculty and guests: Yas Ishibashi (piano, vocals), Jessica Cooper (vocals, narration), Michael Carey (saxophone, flute, clarinet), and Nurudafina Abena (African percussino)!

This program is supported in part by the Belmont Savings Bank Foundation, and by the Belmont and Watertown Cultural Councils, local agencies supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. Thank you for your support!
