A Family Concert Featuring the Roches
ISBN 0-9647786-0-2
Rereleased in 2000 on DVD by KTel
Produced by KTCA in association with Baby Music Boom, Inc. for Arts & Culture/Twin Cities Public Television.
A family concert is exactly what its title advertises -- a concert that the entire family can enjoy. This 60 minute video, produced for public television, features music from the Roches' award winning children's album Will You Be My Friend?. It is hard to improve on the description of the music given on the back of the box, specifically, the music "respects the intellectual capabilities of children while not insulting those of young adults and parents."
From the back of the box:
A Family Concert brings great music to children and their families... music created just for them by wonderfully talented artists. The Roches (the first concert video release by the famed sister trio) present music from their 1994 Parents' Choice Award winning album Will You Be My Friend? The Music Workshop For Kids present music from their 1994 Parents' Choice Recommended album titled The Sky Blue Catfish featuring the dance and mime magic of Michael Hennessy and Cathy Gasiorowicz.
In continuing with our commitment to quality and intelligent family entertainment this video encompasses music, the ageless language, that respects the intellectual capabilities of children while not insulting those of young adults and parents. our music allows children to reach forward while allowing parents to reach back and fondly reminisce with intellect, wit and humor their childhood and parenting experiences.
Live concert performances accompanied by animation and mime make this a video that the entire family can enjoy together.
