The ArtsCenter presents Gary Stroutsos

GARY STROUTSOS’ live performances have captivated audiences around the world. His meditative flute music and time-honored stories evoke the lands and cultures that he has studied over the course of his 35-year career. Gary’s mission is to carry the music forward to future generations and to promote stewardship of diverse cultures and the natural environment. Gary’s unique musical style and use of humor transcends human differences in age and culture, connecting audiences in a shared contemplative space that transport listeners to a spirit of place. “I cannot imagine trying to come to terms with the history of this complicated country I have chosen to make my life’s work without Gary’s exquisite mastery and understanding of its many varied musical traditions. We don’t leave home without him.” — Ken Burns, Florentine Films
