About Young Audiences:
Founded in 1958:
Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington has steadily grown in scope and programming since we were founded in 1958. We’ve evolved from presenting only a few classical music performances to currently providing a roster of over 200 skilled residency and performing artists with programs in multiple artistic disciplines and cultures. We connect these artists and classroom teachers and together they use the arts to make learning come alive for their students.

Music Is All Around Us!
Welcome to the world of Trashcan Joe, where washboards, combs, trashcans and pencils become amazing musical instruments and kids discover how to make music with just about anything. Led by James Cook, this energetic quartet brings to life classic American jazz from the 1920s to the 1950s. They share original compositions as well as familiar children’s folk songs, using a homemade trashcan banjo (trashcanjo), trashcan bass, kazoo, accordion, cornet and more. Students accompany the musicians with singing and rhythmic clapping and volunteers join the band on stage to create a trashcan orchestra. With over 150 tunes in their repertoire, Trashcan Joe can tailor the performance for any age.Download Program Guide
