The Landrum Library will host a family friendly concert on Friday, June 3 at 4:30 p.m. Susana and Timmy Abell’s performance will include fun stories, puppetry and songs.

 

Susana Abell is a highly respected, veteran performing and teaching artist whose career in puppetry arts has spanned two decades and three continents. Her work as a bi-lingual puppeteer and circus performer both in South America and throughout Europe prepared her for a successful seven-year tenure as one of the most sought after teaching artists in New Jersey where her programs and residencies were directly sponsored by Carnegie Hall, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the New Jersey Department of Education and the New Jersey Council on the Arts.

 

Timmy Abell is a nationally recognized children’s recording and touring artist who has spent 30 years presenting concerts of music and storytelling for young people and families. He is a recipient of the North Carolina Arts Council’s Fellowship for Songwriting and has received the highest national awards for his recordings, including Parent’s Choice and NAPPA Gold and The American Library Association’s

Notable Children’s Recording Awards.

 

Timmy’s concerts feature music played on seven instruments (including hammered dulcimer, English concertina, guitar, banjo, bowed psaltery and penny whistle) and a repertoire of both traditional and original songs, instrumental compositions and stories.

 

Join us for a fun family concert sure to please all ages. The concert will be held indoors. For more information call 864-457-2218.
