WILLMAR - Students from Kennedy Elementary School listened to and learned about instruments from all over the world during a presentation Monday by global multi-instrumentalist Todd Green at the Willmar Education and Arts Center. From Chinese string instruments to North Indian drums, his sound crossed continents and music mediums. Green will also perform at 7 p.m. Nov. 1 at the WEAC. Presented by Willmar Community Education, the concert is free to the public. A quiet, strings-only, live prelude begins at 6:30 p.m. Those under 15 should be accompanied by an adult.
