Let your ears be instruments of peace.
The Universal Experience features Flutist Pamela Whitman leading her Playmates Quartet performing music to inspire Love, Joy, Peace, Grace and Fun.
The concert includes music spanning time, space and genre, including world music performed on Pamela’s ethnic flutes, much loved classical music and fresh jazz from Claude Bolling’s California Suite and rarely heard Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano.
The spirit of fun attracted the Playmates to the music of Claude Bolling, which can be heard throughout The Universal Experience. Versed in a variety of musical styles, the group offers an eclectic program with emotional themes that resonate throughout humanity. The feel-good concert has been described as chocolate chip cookies for the ears. The event is entirely nonfattening and guaranteed to uplift.
