A free outdoor concert by ethnic flutist Peter Phippen will begin the last week of Summer Session Programs at UW-Eau Claire on Monday, Aug. 3.
The show will run from 7 to 9 p.m. on the Central Campus Mall (rain: Schofield Auditorium). Audience members are invited to bring blankets or folding chairs for lawn seating. Refreshments will be sold.
Eau Claire musician Phippen is an international recording and performing artist whose musical focus is on a variety of ethnic flutes, including the haunting Native American flute and the quenacho of South America. He performs ancient folk songs, original compositions and improvisations on his large collection of wood, clay and bone flutes from around the world. His third CD "Book of Dreams" (Canyon Records 1996) includes 11 original all-instrumental songs and an arrangement of "Scarborough Fair."
