Currently, I am practicing, making and experimenting with oboe and English horn reeds, playing various ocarinas and working on new pieces. I just finished a wonderful new exploration of musical clowning with the Waddle Ensemble, directed by Mick Holsbeke of https://www.clowngarage.com I composed new piece for melodica, toy piano and bells :) We had a four great days of roving performances as the fantastic Vancouver Arts & Music Festival.
I also recorded new piece by my friend and bassist John Kessler entitled Major Minor https://music.apple.com/us/album/major-minor/1779586032?i=1779586033
Projects this past year included two tracks on Louis deLise's release Iridescence and I also performed on 4 tracks of Michael Whalen's release entitled Watercolor Sky.
I also want to share a link to Stellar Flutes who create gorgeous Native flutes in a variety of keys, styles and woods. I have had the honor of performing and recording with them for over two decades now. They have a lovely soothing sound which is very comforting to play and hear. I hope you treat yourself or a friend to an instrument that would bring years of pleasure and beauty! https://stellarflutes.com Here is an example of a piece that I used one of my Stellar flutes on. It is entitled Mirage and can be heard at the very beginning and throughout the track. This is from the release I co-created with Benjy Wertheimer and David Michael entitled Confluence. https://www.confluencetrio.com

Meanwhile, spending time with my family and friends, tending my summer garden and going outside is soothing my heart and soul and keeping me sane. I pray for world peace, kindness and good health to all.
OBOE/ENGLISH HORN/OCARINA & COMPOSITION SESSION WORK -- Would you love to have the sound of the instruments I play on your next release? Perhaps you would like to commission an original piece? I am available for hire and can record at my studio.
THANKS for Supporting Live and Recorded Music! Gratefully, Nancy
