Institution/Business Type: Artist / Creative (Individual)

 

I feel that music has the great potential for bridging gaps between cultures and peoples. Whether my presentation takes place in an educational setting, private gathering, or a large public venue, I use music to try to inspire laughter, understanding, and an awareness of the sacredness of every person. 

I play original music on flutes that I create along with instruments from other cultures. 

I especially enjoy having the chance to interact with people and sharing my belief in the importance of respecting our diversity while remembering our common humanity. Through music, discussion, and a note of humor, I endeavor to create a calm, engaging, and thought-provoking experience offering meaningful reflection on how we each have the capacity to make a change in the world. I offer flutes for sale (including commissioned works) and offer flute making demonstrations.  Fees negotiable.
