BRIDGEPORT — A solar-powered show of lively music for children and adults will be presented Thursday, December 28, at 10:30 am, at The Barnum Museum, 820 Main Street. The program is sponsored by Green Mountain Energy Company. Doors will open at 10 am.

Green Mountain Energy’s program, “The Greatest Show for Earth,” will feature Sirius Coyote, a four-piece band that presents pre-Columbian modern songs focusing on the environment, diversity and cultural understanding.

The group performs on guitar, sax, clarinet, flute, kalmias rain sticks, drums, berimbau, ocarinas and other instruments handcrafted by the artists. Audience participation includes singing along, dancing and music-making.
