Potomac Flute festival, event schedule is ready

Mark your calendars now if you have not already done so! The POTOMAC NATIVE AMERICAN FLUTE FESTIVAL is February 23-25, 2007

[I am a member of this circle as well and I can tell you that they work VERY hard, year round to pull off a first class event that you will not want to miss]

Location: Montgomery College - Rockville, Maryland - Washington D.C. Metro Area

[I was an attendee of this event last year and I can say that it is great in every way. The college department setting provides for great contact with presenters and vendors as well as fellow fluties. Concerts include top name performers with expert sound and acoustics. Many of these same performers are in workshops with you or teaching them, which makes for a very enriching experience. Every vendor donates a raffle item to the event and some wonderful items are raffled to support festival expenses. This years event has included some exposure to bansuri and fujara style flutes and didgeridoo which I think is a really great thing. I am already registered and willing to share a ride with interested circle members, email me]

The Potomac and Maryland Flute Circles have the pleasure of inviting you to the Potomac Native American Flute Festival. The 2006 event was so successful that Montgomery College near Washington D.C. has invited us back to again hold the event as a part of their World Arts Festival on February 23-25, 2007!!

Our Friday evening concert will feature a wonderful line up including special guests Michael Graham Allen (Coyote Oldman), Ron Warren, and Australian digeridoo master, Ash Dargan. Saturday afternoon will showcase the cultural wisdom and incredible flute playing talents of Hawk Henries. Saturday Night will mark the return of the Jeff Ball Band, along with flute/violin specialist Arvel Bird and other guest performers. These artists will perform individually and as a group throughout the evening. This is an event you will never forget!

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday workshops will include presentations on topics such as flute playing, ethnic flutes, early flute history, recording, flute and fiddle, and composing. There will also be a participant's recital on Sunday. More than TEN flute makers and others will be selling their fantastic flutes
and CD's!! No doubt this will likely be the best East Coast Native American flute buying opportunity in 2007!! For more information, please visit: www.potomacflutecircle.net. The Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. is now open and easily reached from the Potomac Flute Festival. A great addition to your trip to the Washington D.C. area!!
