Earth, music, magic – family concert July 3 with Bill Kehl

An evening of music with Bill Kehl will be held outdoors at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 3, at the Mauthe Lake Recreation Area Picnic Shelter of the Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit. Mauthe Lake is located off County GGG south of County SS near New Prospect.

A Wisconsin State Park System vehicle admission sticker is required. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be held at the Henry S. Reuss Ice Age Visitor Center, located off State 67 a half mile west of Dundee.

Learning about the wonder of the natural world and listening to the simple beauty of primitive musical instruments are a magical combination that just might leave you a bit more in awe of this magnificent universe and the beautiful planet shared by all and called home. This interactive and engaging musical performance is fun for all ages.

Musician and “edu-tainer” Bill Kehl has been performing and playing music for almost 40 years, both professionally and for his own enjoyment. He has been especially intrigued by the discovery and use of music in primitive cultures and the diversity of instruments created, and has been collecting and playing these wonderfully engaging instruments for the past two decades.

Formerly a member of the successful folk/fusion group “Northern Light,” Bill founded Planetary Productions, Ltd. in 1993. His purpose in creating Planetary Productions is to promote increased understanding of environmental issues among young people and to inspire an appreciation toward the wonders of creation and the magnificent beauty of the natural world.
