| About Wolfs Robe aka Flute Man | World-renowned traditional Native American flute performer and educator David Wolfs Robe performs regularly at places such as Grand Canyon National Park, Chaco Canyon National Park, Devil’s Tower National Monument, and Badlands National Park as well as museums, libraries, and resorts across the country. This two-time Native American Music Award (NAMA) nominee performs on and teaches about Native American flutes, bringing both traditional music and original compositions to life. Wolfs Robe’s performances weave delicate melodies and improvisation into a landscape with the sounds of Nature while also emphasizing the importance of cultural preservation. Wolfs Robe offers performances, lectures, hands-on flute-making workshops and programs styled for young adults. Stemming from a commitment to the preservation of the Native American flute as well as his own ancestral connections, Wolfs Robe’s work has been credited with helping to keep alive the art of traditional flute music. His work has been showcased in documentaries and DVDs and he has released four recordings. His 2007 release, “Visions of a Past”, was nominated in eight categories for the 2008 NAMA awards and his 2008 release, “Ancient Dreams”, was nominated for the 2009 NAMA awards. Wolfs Robe says, “Our Native culture is like a fine weaving with each strand representing a part of our World and the flute is just one of those strands. But if you cut just one of those strands, over time you will lose the weaving, so I strive to keep just a part of our culture alive, evolving, and intact. I wish to share it with the World.” |
