As promised, the video:
Last week's sunset concert sponsored by the Hermitage Foundation's Artist Retreat (Sarasota, FL)
Turn up the volume to fully appreciate the echo and ambience, triangle tinkling and special guest (a bird).

Ever hear of Claire Chase?
She is rather amazing. Saw her tonight combining mystical flute meditations with breath and percussion gymnastics right up there with Ian Anderson in his prime.
NY Times called her "the most important flutist of our time".
Tonight she played a sunset concert, solo, at one point handing out triangles to audience members, and playing so sublimely that in a quiet ending, a bird joined in, perfect pitch and time. I recorded that... don't have bandwidth to post it now, but will. Meanwhile...
Here's a sampler.
Tonight she played the "metal tube" (flute), solo, but a few songs she performed along with multi-track accompaniment of herself on some of these other flute relatives. Muy cool. 🎶
