Percussive Storytelling

Percussive Storytelling, a program that brings classical music and storytelling to kids in underserved communities, was launched by Hills while a fellow at Institute Fabrica. The program recently marked its 650th performance, and has reached more than 175,000 children in ten countries. Hills has released two award-winning albums (The Lost Bicycle, Drum Factory), and three children’s books (The Lost Bicycle, Beatrice and the POGs, Beatrice and the Search for the Orb). Through Percussive Storytelling, Hills was named as the inaugural Gretsch Fellow in Children's Music at the Fred Rogers Center during 2021-2022 school year.
