WERNER JOHN

WERNER JOHN is on a 25-year flute journey that includes performance, teaching, composing and flutemaking. Over that time this classically trained musical entrepreneur has, among other things, hand-carved 900 North American Indian style flutes and sold a quarter million recordings of his music. Now, Werner is offering four new FLUTEWALKER Story Concerts which combine the delights of simple flutes with inspiring and thought provoking narratives... FLUTES AND ROOTS (ages 6 and up) is an origin story of humans' prehistoric migration around the world, illustrated on a 4-foot globe and featuring live performance on ancient flutes of each continent; THE MUSIC OF LIFE extends this long view of humanity to explore the current environmental scene; EARTH IN CONCERT guides this musical origin story toward feeling a sense of kinship underlying human diversity; and THE PROMISE OF THANKSGIVING blends an accurate historical tale with original music for Native and European instruments.
