Tulsa Children's Museum Hosts Terrance Simien Zydeco Performance, 3/26
By: James Miller Feb. 24, 2011
Tulsa Children's Museum's Family Music Series closes its 2010-2011 season at the PAC with a performance by Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience on Mar. 26 at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
"Creole for Kidz" introduces families to the rich history and multi-layered sound of zydeco, the music of the French-speaking Creoles of southern Louisiana. Zydeco is an important part of America's musical heritage. It informs blues and jazz and can itself be traced back to Native American, African and Caribbean sources. Simien is a respected musician in this genre and an accomplished educator. His six-person band has played for more than 250,000 students all over Louisiana and as far away as Mali and Paraguay. Simien's music and voice were recently featured in Disney's movie The Princess and the Frog.
The performance will take place at the John H. Williams Theatre in the museum, which is located at 14 East 7th Street. All tickets are $10, and lap-sitters under age three are admitted free of charge. Visit www.myticketoffice.com for tickets and www.tulsachildrensmuseum.org for more information.
