At this special Xenia Concert, you get to make an instrument and make some music! Arrive at 10:30AM to make your own tin can shaker, then stay for the concert where you’ll get to make music together with percussionist Jesse Stewart. Jesse Stewart is a Canadian composer, percussionist, instrument builder, artist, educator, and community arts activist dedicated to re-imagining the spaces between artistic disciplines. Read more about Jesse here.

This concert is designed to be autism- and neurodiversity-friendly, and Meridian Hall is a wheelchair accessible venue. Bring the whole family! Xenia Concerts welcomes all listeners.
