Event Details
Join us on a journey to Australia and beyond. Virtuoso didgeridoo player Rob Thomas mixes funky didgeridoo rhythms, worldly percussion instruments and relaxing soundscapes with a virtual landscape of Australian forests, deserts, oceans and distant galaxies. Come enjoy this mesmerizing journey of sight, sound and imagination!
The didgeridoo has been played by Australia's Aboriginal people for at least 1,500 years, and Rob explains its history and connections to the modern day. Audience members are encouraged to participate in a Q&A session after the show.
Rob is a true didgeridoo pioneer in the U.S. He has been making and playing didgeridoos for almost 30 years; has performed throughout the country; has recorded several CDs; and has produced music for numerous films, including the IMAX movie Sacred Planet. He is an expert in the virtual realm, and he has invested hundreds of hours in his professional production studio to create enthralling online shows and workshops. He takes pride in delivering superbly high-quality live virtual experiences!
