April 2011 Arvel Bird Field Trip!

Looking ahead to April, rather than our usual meeting, we will be
going on a field trip, with Arvel Bird visiting Rochester. We'll be
attending the Flute Circle Workshop and Rochester Chamber Orchestra
events. You should reserve your seat early! Arvel Bird's concert with
the Rochester Chamber Orchestra last year was absolutely amazing!

We will NOT be holding our regular meeting in April.

Arvel Bird Returns!
April 17, 2011, 3:00PM
Hochstein Performance Hall
Adult $25.00
Senior $15.00
Student $10.00

Brilliant Native-American violinist and composer, Arvel Bird, returns
by popular request after a highly successful concert with the RCO last
season. In addition to the violin, Bird also plays a variety of Native
American Flutes. His music reflects his dual heritage of the Paiute
tribe in Utah on his mother’s side, and on his father’s side, the
Scottish tradition. He conveys through words and music, Native
American wisdom, the essence of animals, and the spirit of the earth
on which we live. He mesmerizes his audience with his violin, flute
and powerful story telling. And he does all of this with eloquence,
conviction, and inspiration.


These will be some great Native American flute events with Arvel Bird
in Rochester next month! Hope to see you there!

Flute circles foster appreciation and understanding of the Native American flute, as well as other world flute traditions, through playing the Native Flute for each other in a supportive and encouraging setting. All sharing an interest in the Native American flute are invited, including all levels of skill, from enthusiastic listeners to beginners to long-time players. Please bring your flute to play! World flutes from other cultures are welcome. We will be enjoying and learning from each other's playing. You will not be required to play the flute, but you are encouraged to make some sound! Bring your hand-carried percussion instruments and drums! There will also be beginner flutes and instruction books available for purchase.
