Spring Flute Events

Spring Flute Events

Spring brings new events of all kinds and here are a few worth mentioning:
Jan Seiden is someone I mentioned last post as being a very talented flute performer you should hear as soon as you get the chance. Her official release party for the new album, Memory of Time will be May 13th.
I was fortunate to purchase a copy at Potomac Flute Festival and it is fantastic, below is a short summary of how you can hear Jan and get a copy of the album yourself.

When: Saturday May 17, 2008
3:00 - 5:00pm
(doors open at 3:00pm, concert begins at 3:30pm, CDs available for sale and signing before and after the concert)

Where: 6800 Oakland Mills Road (Christ Episcopal Church)
Columbia, MD 21045

RSVP by May 12, 2008 to Jan at: flutejourney@yahoo.com

The Native American Flute Spring is held each year in New Jersey and is being hosted by Jan Wylie. The dates are April 10-13 and to register you can contact Jan below:
P.O. Box 20573Roanoke, VA 24018 naf4jan@cox.net

The new edition of the INAFA newsletter is here and the ad for Timber Flute Festival looks great. The dates are June 22-27 in Elkins and while that seems far away remember that after June 1st there is a tuition increase for late comers, so register early please and bring a friend (smile). I have spoken with several folks who are interested in camping out during the event to remain rustic and help with costs - this is possible, just ask. To register for the event just click here or on your right. http://www.randolpharts.org/.

There is good news in that another flute festival is being promoted for September 26-28 in Oakhurst, California – just outside Yosemite. Billed as the Yosemite Flute and Art Festival you can visit http://www.yosemiteflutefest.com/ for details, but I’ll warn you it looks like this site just went up and is awaiting details…

More news soon - or visit our next flute circle meeting on Saturday April, 12th from 1-3pm in Elkins.
