With its eclectic, genre-bending virtuosity, Chaski reinvents the sound of a classical flute/harp duo, honing a distinctive style that fuses their roots in classical music with a whole world of flute/harp traditions.
Love this piece!
And, speaking of bass flutes (which I just was!), here’s our multi-flute adaptation of one of my fav Maeve Gilchrist pieces.
Ostinato 4 / Yellow Birds by Maeve Gilchrist 1 Feb 2026

Happy Presidents' Day, especially to Pres. Teddy Roosevelt whose commitment to conservation led to so many beautiful and important parks and refuges! Here's Chaski in 2016 at Lake Brownwood State Park, where we performed on a rural outreach tour. @flautadita60.bsky.social @shanahipharpy.bsky.social

Tomorrow Feb 1 at 3 PM in south Austin is your last chance to hear an official 40th anniversary Chaski concert! The program "Women’s Work" highlights the creative work of women composers, writers, scientists, and artists.
I wrote "Kindness" that's on tomorrow's Women's Work program in memory of Sandy Fivecoat, who founded the Austin Kindness Project, which distributed these yard signs. #iceout #chaski40th @flautadita60.bsky.social @shanahipharpy.bsky.social

On this 267th birthday of Scottish poet Robert Burns, enjoy this piece we'll play Feb. 1. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
From Burns' poem Ode
"See gathering thousands, while I sing,
A broken chain, exulting, bring,
And dash it in a tyrant's face!"

I'm so glad this concert happens before the cold front arrives! Savor the sounds of flute/harp music before you snuggle under a pile of blankets at home. @flautadita60.bsky.social @shanahipharpy.bsky.social #chaski40th

Our Friday concert should happen before the icy weather sneaks in on Saturday!
One of the many fun things about playing with The Muses is to wear fancy dresses! Here's @shanahipharpy.bsky.social glammed out in this tableau vivant from one of our videos. Catch this glamorous harpist this Fri Jan 23 in Lago Vista or Sun Feb 1 in Oak Branch! #chaski40th @flautadita60.bsky.social
