Musical Storytelling: Elizabeth Yeoh-Wang, Harp
It's time for NEC's annual Musical Storytelling Showcase!
NEC is excited to share a virtual version of our popular spring event for young children & families. During April vacation week, we will roll out a new video each morning at 11 a.m., featuring a mix of "meet the instrument" and musical storytelling sessions.
Each video showcases the unique creative work of one of NEC's Musical Storytelling Fellows, who spent the school year training as teaching artists in preschools and early elementary classrooms through NEC's Community Performances & Partnerships program.
Today for Musical Storytelling, meet the harp and hear how animals come together to create a musical soup!
