Roads We Travel

Where the rhythm goes

Follow the rhythm to find the music.

Music moves – across borders, between people, and through time. 

Led by a dynamic trio of multi-instrumentalists who are also music educators, this interactive show invites students to discover how music connects us all. Roads We Travel brings together percussion, strings, and woodwinds in a vibrant exploration of global musical traditions. Inspired by folk and regional music from across the world, the performance celebrates creativity, collaboration, and the joy of making music together.

From body percussion and call-and-response to shared rhythms and group improvisation, students are invited to actively take part in the show – no instruments required. Along the way, they’ll learn about the core elements of music, all brought to life through storytelling, movement and musical connection.
