Andy the Musical Scientist is a children’s entertainer who uses homemade, upcycled instruments like a musical hockey stick and Lego Theremin to promote music, science, and recycling.  This one-of-a-kind performance will inspire kids’ curiosity and encourage them to think outside the box.

Andy has performed for hundreds of schools worldwide, including the Vancouver Children’s Festival, Vancouver Folkfest, a Raffi album, and three CBC documentaries. With 40 years of experience studying music from various cultures (including a sitar scholarship to India), he has performed with African and Indian ensembles and the Children’s Landfill Harmonic Recycled Orchestra of Paraguay. With Delhi2Dublin, he toured the world, performing for the prime minister, the British royal family, BBC, and MTV India. Andy also performed in China’s Forbidden City and the Early Learning Center in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan to the sheer delight of the children and teachers!
