The Friends of the Library will be hosting a lecture and concert with Joseph Carringer on Tues., Sept. 16th at 7:00pm in the library lecture hall, and yes he will be playing the didgeridoo. Joseph Carringer has been playing an Australian Aboriginal-made didgeridoo since 1997. Probably the world's oldest wind instrument, the didgeridoo originates in Northern Australia. Cave paintings by ancient aborigines suggest its age at 1500 years. Come and see how they are constructed, used in ritual and communication. Learn how it resonates and how its vibrations affect the human form. Check out its links to modern wind instruments and why many Celtic music groups are incorporating it into their arrangements. The lecture & concert is free and open to the public.
