Animal Farm: Live in Concert!

  By , , ,

Friday, June 28 at 10:30 a.m.

Animal Farm is a group of musician-educators who write and perform original music for children and families. Drawing from a range of influences, including rock, jazz, folk, klezmer, and tin pan alley, their songs explore social and emotional learning, community, self-expression, and environmental education through the eyes of our furry, feathered, scaly, and shell-dwelling friends. Blending music, educational comedy, and interactive storytelling, we perform our energetic live show for children and families in schools, parks, libraries, museums, and other cultural institutions throughout Illinois, including Navy Pier, Chicago Botanic Garden, Morton Arboretum, Navy Pier, and more!  Their 2018 album “We Are One” won a National Parenting Product Award, Mom’s Choice Award, and a Parents Choice Recommended Award and is available on all streaming platforms.
