February 2016 Meeting

Since our January meeting was cancelled due to inclement weather, we’re trying again this month with the same location and program. We’ll meet on Saturday, February 20th at 2PM. We’ll be at the home of Dawn Leith-Dougherty and Ed Dougherty, 359 Green Meadow Lane in Roxboro. It’s a mile or two off 15-501, way north of Durham. They have two big dogs and a cat, so if you have allergies or other issues, please be aware.

This month, we’ll be featuring the flutes of George Dyson and the music of John Huling. As always, we’ll also make lots of music. 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.

This summer is a flute event not to be missed: The World Flute Society Convention in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It’s a 5 day event with more music, workshops, and flutes than you can imagine. Performers include Peter Phippen, Michael Graham Allen, Kevin Locke, Ron Korb, and many more. Yes, it’s one heck of a road trip, but it’s totally worth it. You can get more info at http://worldflutes.org, and I’ll be glad to answer any questions I can.

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 at Dawn and Ed’s house.
