PERFORMANCES / LECTURES / EVENTS
Sounds you never saw before
Back in the good old days, musical saw performances were popular
novelty items at fairs and on the vaudeville circuit. Canadian musician-storytellers
Robert Minden and Carla Hallett keep this unusual musical instrument
— and several others — alive with their performance piece
“The Lost Sound.” See “The
world comes to Philly (children’s version).”
