Passamaquoddy educator and singer Chris Newell joins Vermont fiddler and teaching artist Ida Mae Specker for a new interactive children’s concert premiering this summer as part of TLI for Families. Through songs, storytelling, rhythm games, and audience participation, the program invites children to experience how music connects people to community, culture, and the natural world.
In 2025, Specker and Newell began collaborating with cellist Yo-Yo Ma and others on projects exploring connections between music, community, and nature across the Northeast.
