Flute Making Workshop and Concert
Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner, New Hampshire sponsored a flute making workshop yesterday given by my friend Hawk Henries.
From Hawk's website: " Hawk Henries is a member of the Chaubunagungamaug band of Nipmuck, a people indigenous to what is now southern New England. He has been composing original flute music and making flutes using only hand tools and fire for over twenty 25 years."
It felt so good to disconnect and spend the day immersed in music and flute making and laughter with Hawk and the other attendees. We arrived as strangers, but after a day full of flute making and helping each other, we left as friends.
Hawk patiently shared his skills and knowledge of flute making in a way that made all of us feel confident enough to use his hand tools and fire to create our very own flutes!
We ended the day with a concert. Hawk shared his wonderful stories and his beautiful music. He even brought a few other instruments from around the world that he talked about and and played. It was an amazing and magical day.
