Open Hours: Abu the Flutemaker

Free

Join the musical master craftsman Abu the Flutemaker for an interactive performance of a selection of his hand-made instruments. "I can make a musical instrument out of anything!" exemplifies his life-long approach to experimenting with and creating instruments out of found objects. See and hear about his work, and then join him for an improv group performance. After the performance, feel free to stick around and learn more about Abu’s instruments and purchase one for yourself.

This free event will be held on the front steps outside the BMA's Historic Merrick Entrance. In case of inclement weather, the performance will take place inside the BMA's Commons.
