Flute Festival a wonderful success!
The 2nd Annual Oklahoma
Flute Festival was a great time with performers, artisans, teachers,
and visitors from all over the world. We had visitors from
England, Canada, Alaska and Belgium. The Saturday evening concert
was a packed house with over 150+ people in attendence and raised over
$300 for the TNAFC in donations toward future programs. The
setting of the NSU Jazz Lab was fantastic for our three wondeful
performers, Morgan
Fawcett, Michael Graham Allen,
and Jan Seiden who
captured their audiences musical attention. We are very grateful for
everyone who attended both the festival and Saturday
evening concert. Thank you to the amazing performers, artisans
and workshop
teachers for making this years festival a blast! We
especially would like to thank all the volunteers without whom we could
not have made the festival a success. Also, last but not least,
thank you so much to all of our supporters for your efforts and
enthusiasm for the festival and the TNAFC. Your contributions
make a world of difference in keeping the spirit of the group and
festival going and we are always grateful! Thank You!

OUR WEBSITE HAS A NEW
LOOK!
Well, it was about that time... you know the time to
freshen up the
look of a website. We wanted to make the website easier to
navigate and add a few more photos of the group. The TNAFC
newsletter is no more, and will now be making its (hopefully) monthly
appearance on our new Circle Reviews page! On the reviews page
you can also find all of our past flute circle reviews. The
website is still being tweaked, but is taking shape. We hope you
like our new look for the New Year and look forward to seeing you at a
meeting or conversing with you online!

Jim Sinclair
and Joyce Barnes of the Tahlequah Native American Flute Circle at the Cherokee Heritage Center
gave a wonderful performance at the 2nd Annual Holiday Art Show at the
Tahlequah Municipal Armory in down town Tahlequah, OK over the Cherokee
National Holiday (Labor Day Weekend). Their performance was part
of the awards ceremony opening for many great Native American artisans
in the show. After the awards ceremony Jim and Joyce provided
Native American flute music for the many patrons enjoying the
show. Jim and Joyce performed on their own handmade flutes.
Jim's incredible walking stick flute with wood burning was such an eye
catcher it had many of the partons of the show coming to get a closer
look. After a few duets, solos, great conversations with the show
patrons, and too much punch they called it a night!
The Tahlequah Native American Flute Circle would like to sincerely
thank Travis Owens, Tourism Coordinator of the Cherokee Nation and
Traci Clark for putting together a wonderful show and inviting the
TNAFC to perform! Wado For more information on Cherokee Nation
