Children invited to musical program

LAKE HOPATCONG — The Jefferson Arts Committee will present Musical IQ’s program Drum Tales: The Lion King of Africa — a journey for children to explore the rhythm, music, and rich culture of Africa.
The event will be on Sunday, May 22 at 2 p.m. at the Camp Jefferson Community Lodge, 81 Weldon Road, Lake Hopatcong.
Drum Tales is a live and interactive musical program for 3 to 10 year olds. Set in the vast majestic plains of Africa, this program resembles the traditional drum-circle, combining storytelling, musical instrumentation, and song. Each child is given an African drum, which becomes their medium of transportation as they rhythmically traverse through the royal territory of the Lion King of Africa. Wild animals, a rolling African thunderstorm, deserts, and jungles, make this an unforgettable experience. Through an engaging, hands-on, and interactive rapport, the facilitators guide the group, step by step, through a fun and insightful journey. Visit www.MusicalIQ.com to learn more.
Pre-registration is required as there is a limit of 60 children participating in the program. Registration forms can be found at www.jeffersonarts.org or in the literature racks at the Jefferson Township Recreation Department office at Camp Jefferson, the Jefferson Township Municipal Building, and the Jefferson Township Public Library. Admission is only $8 per child.
