August 2016 Meeting

Flute Friends,

Our August meeting will be Saturday the 20th at 2PM. This time, we’ll be at the home of Jon Norris, 112 Oakbeech Ct. in Holly Springs.

This month, we’ll be featuring the music of Kevin Locke and the flutes of Ted Ceplina. As always, if you have a song to share, whether it’s a traditional tune, an improv piece, or a jam with you and a few friends, we look forward to hearing it. If you just want to hang out and listen, that’s cool too. If you’d like to bring a snack to share, feel free to do so.

There are quite a few major flute events around the country coming up in the next few months:

  • Ohio Valley Indigenous Music Festival, August 27-28 in Springboro, OH
  • Flute Haven, September 13-18 in Valley Forge, PA. http://flutehaven.com/
  • Sweetgrass Festival, September 21-23 in Hiawatha, IA. http://www.sweetgrassfest.com/
  • Native Rhythms Festival, November 10-13 in Melbourne, FL. http://www.nativerhythmsfestival.com/

For more information on any of these, just ask, as I’ve been to them all before and I’ll be at all of them again this year.

As always, feel free to get in touch if you have any feedback regarding the flute circle. I look forward to seeing you on the 20th.
