Earth Day is drums day in Roanoke.
River Guerguerian, a master percussionist whose quarter-century
of worldwide work includes gigs ranging from the BBC Concert
Orchestra to Chuck Berry, will be at Roanoke Ballet Theatre Studios
for a busy day of teaching and playing.
Guerguerian, a Montreal native who graduated from Manhattan
School of Music Conservatory 20 years ago, will conduct two
workshops. The first is for families with children -- it's a chance
for them to bond over some rhythm exploration. The second is for
drummers interested in learning new styles from around the world.
After a day of teaching, Guerguerian will perform that night.
