February News




WVNAF Circle meets at the Randolph County Community Arts Center again this month - home again - and while we are thankful for the Old Brick Playhouse the sound at RCCAC is sooo good...

Well the time is just a few weeks away, Potomac Flute Festival is nearly here.

The dates for the fourth annual Potomac Native American Flute Festival are February 23-25, 2007. The venue is the Montgomery College in Rockville, MD ( the same as for the last 3 years) The length of the festival is extended from Noon Friday through 4:00PM Sunday.

Friday Evening Concert: Flute Maker and Flute Player Michael Graham Allen (of Coyote Oldman), World-Famous Didgeridoo Player Ash Dargan, and the Ron Warren Band.

A Saturday afternoon concert will feature Native American Flute Player and Flute Maker Hawk Henries.

Saturday Evening Concert: Electric Violin Player Extraordinaire Arvel Bird and the Jeff Ball Band.

There will be dual-tracked workshops on Saturday to include beginner and advanced playing workshops. Additional details are provided in the following links - a festival schedule and a printable brochure for the event. Single Day passes are available.

Did I mention a great flute raffle, included lunch, and great times with other flute players? This is a highlight of the winter season and I know you are not playing flute outside these days! Elkins has a high of 8 degrees today!
I will give some highlights here after the fest for those who are unable to attend too - hope to have some pictures by then also. This site looks pretty blah without images to brighten things up.
