Entertainment: Banjo Boy Variety Band

“Music makes the world go round,” says
Bob DeLoss and Stan Walsh with their
new upbeat film, Around the World
on a String. It is an all-new innovative,
unconventional armchair travel adventure
film produced to satisfy the musical
wanderlust of all travelers. It includes
the haunting sounds of a bamboo harp,
the joyful sound of America’s banjo
instrument, audio pictures blended
with scenic panoramas and a back story
commentary about the location and the
talented people that brought us there in
the first place.

Travel to Germany and Switzerland
with Marlin Darrah. In Munich, where
locals specialize in good living, you’ll
visit boisterous markets and go-for-
Baroque palaces. Heading into the
foothills of the Alps, tour the fairy-tale
castles of “Mad” King Ludwig. Then, we
climb atop the Zugspitze, the highest
point in Germany. Cruising the Rhine
River, you’ll dodge riverboat traffic and
the legendary Loreley. After climbing
castles and descending into dungeons,
you’ll relax with Rhine wine!

Entertainment: Reuben Ristrom

Filmmaker Steven McCurdy’s cultural
documentary, “My Private Italy” is a
personal journey through the sights
and sounds, people and places, and
the magic of everyday experiences
in mostly northern Italy. Adventures,
interspersed with old 8mm home movies
of Italy from the 1950’s and 60’s, take
us back to a bygone Italy. A message of
cultural preservation and the charm and
“enchantment of everyday experiences”
challenges us to enjoy Italy without
trying to change it too much and at the
same time to preserve and enjoy their
cultural heritage.

EAST AFRICAN SOJOURN

with Jessica Wunderlich

Thursday, March 15, 2018
Entertainment: Park Brook Elementary (afternoon)
Student Ensemble (evening)

South Sudan, the world’s newest country
is known for its long history of conflict,
famine, and tribal warfare, while its
neighbor to the south, Uganda has moved
past its own sordid past with grace and
open arms, growing into a country of “the
friendliest people in the world.” In an area
of the globe when the borders of sovereign
states and tribal lines are at constant
odds, where the juxtaposition of extreme
violence and extraordinary compassion
is nothing short of arresting one cannot
help but be moved by the tangled ballet of
opposing forces.
