ABOUT THE SHOW 

Musical trio Aria 51 combines classical and folk instruments with singing to create unique arrangements of a variety of musical styles “from Rock to Bach.” Seniors will encounter sounds of the cello, classical guitar, tenor and baritone ukuleles, violin, and the electric bass while learning to identify musical styles. Interactive age-appropriate activities, such as sing-alongs, repeating rhythm patterns, and light movement, are made to inspire, excite, and encourage creativity. Aria 51 takes seniors on a nostalgic musical journey, revisiting popular music of their youth styled in a whole new way.
