Children of Uganda

Pulsing rhythms, quicksilver movements, powerful drums, lyric flutes, and songs of joy and

hope-the Children of Uganda are exhilarating performers of East African music and dance.

With commanding skill and an awesome richness of human spirit, this group of twenty

children-ages six to seventeen-promotes their nation's rich culture and global awareness

of Uganda's 1.7 million AIDS- and war-related orphans.

POST-PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

"Given sorrow, they have made beauty. With nothing more than sticks and drums and their own

bare feet, they have made art. Their performance brought the audience...to its feet,

cheering and stomping and whistling for more." --Boston Globe
