New England Percussion Ensemble Will Play Franklin Performing Arts Company's Concert Series

Franklin Performing Arts Company's annual free Family Concert Series continues this season with the New England Percussion Ensemble on Sunday, February 4 at 1 p.m. at THE BLACK BOX, 15 West Central Street, in downtown Franklin. A treasured FPAC tradition for more than two decades, Family Concert Series events are especially geared to children in length and format and provide young audiences with a fun introduction to the world of live music. Offered free to the public, the special concerts feature talented, professional musicians in an engaging and entertaining way.

The New England Percussion Ensemble specializes in presenting creative and energetic audience-interactive enrichment programs to youngsters. Featuring professional percussionist/educators, the ensemble has presented programs for more than 20 years, blending elements of information, performance, and hands-on participation. Their "Language of the Ancients" program is a journey through time, explored with imagination, inventiveness, and creativity, to discover the many melodic, rhythmic, and tonal possibilities of percussion. An audience hands-on ensemble concludes the program.

FPAC's 2018 Family Concert Series is sponsored by Berry Insurance. For more information, call (508) 528-3370 or visit www.FPAConline.com or www.THEBLACKBOXonline.com.
