Folksinger and storyteller Tim Van Egmond presents “Barnyard Critters In Herds, Flocks & Litters” at Baby Animals! All ages are welcome for this family program of multicultural songs and folk tales about farm animals. Sing along with the Cuban song “Los Pollitos” about baby chicks in Spanish and English, repeat the refrain in the French tale “Bâtis, Bâtis! (Build, Build!),” answer “Yes Sir!” in rhythm to the African American call-and-response game “Did You Feed My Cow?,” and more! Tim will play a fascinating array of instruments, including guitar, hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, an Andean rattle made with goat hoof trimmings, and a horse limberjack (a wooden puppet that taps out a rhythm dancing on a paddle). A versatile and dynamic performer, Van Egmond moves easily from a rousing singalong to a spellbinding story.
This program is supported in part by grants from the Pittsfield Cultural Council and the Cultural Council of Northern Berkshire, local agencies which are supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
