Music and Nature Reflections with Hawk Henries (Schoodic Institute Summer Lecture Series)

Description

Join us at Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park on Tuesday, September 12th at 7:00pm for a special evening conversation and musical performance with Hawk Henries. Hawk is a renowned musician and flute maker. As one of a relatively small number of Native flute makers who continue in the tradition of using only hand tools and fire, Hawk’s work embodies his commitment to the revitalization and preservation of these skills.

During the performance, Hawk will share his passion for his artistry and talk about how the flute’s body and voice reminds us of the interrelatedness, interdependence, and sacredness of all people and all of Creation. He will also share some of his observations of the natural world through his music and photography. Hawk has been composing original flute music and making flutes for over 25 years. He is a member of the Chaubunagungamaug band of Nipmuck, a people indigenous to what is now southern New England.

Join us in-person at Moore Auditorium on the Schoodic Institute campus (Winter Harbor, ME) or online via Zoom. This event is FREE and open to the public. Please register online for the Zoom link and more information: https://schoodicinstitute.org/event/hawk-henries/
