The Indiana Flute Circle was honored at the July 2005 gathering to have Indiana resident Dennis Sizemore come and share his personal story, playing techniques and his knowledge of the history of the Native American flute.  Dennis has been playing Native American flutes for over 50 years and has contributed much wisdom online.

We were also honored to be presented with a performance of Dennis' new contemporary instrumental quartet (Native American flute, silver flute, viola and cello) which played several pieces including two world premiers of new compositions.
