Multi-faceted musician gives students sneak pear at concert

Multi-instrumentalist Todd Green, scheduled to open the Spencer Area Concert Association's 2008--09 season with a 2:30 p.m., matinee performance Sunday, Sept. 21 at the Clay County Regional Events Center, arrived in town a bit early as part of a week-long residency that included performances for schoolchildren in the Spencer, Clay Central/Everly, Sioux Central and Ruthven-Ayrshire school districts. Friday afternoon, he performed and visited with students at Spencer Middle School (above). Todd is recognized across the country for his diversity on a multitude of string, flute and percussion instruments from around the world. His performance is enhanced by digital samplers, which allow him to record and overdub instruments one by one, making him a one-man-orchestra of unique and exotic instruments. He has been writing and performing his own music professionally since the age of 15.
