Project Overview

The drum and the flute were the first instruments in virtually every indigenous culture. The project consists of a series of workshops to learn how to make and play rhythm instruments, a concert performed by both professional musicians and the workshop participants (both structured and improvised pieces on world flutes, including indigenous flutes of North America, South America, Caribbean, Africa, and Asia), and an exhibit featuring the instruments made in the workshop, accompanied by narratives written by each of the participants.
