Brazilian berimbau, Central & South African kalimba
& mbira, West African harps, Arab riq and
frame drums, Indian tabla, Nigerian udu, Tuvan
throat singing & Australian didjeridu. Mark
Holland is considered by many to be one of the leading
authorities on the Native American and world flutes performing
and recording today. Leader and founder of the ensemble Autumn’s
Child, Mark Holland has been called, “the Jimi Hendrix of
the Native American Flute.” His unique approach and usage
of the flute along with his technical skills brings about such
comparisons. Through his various ensembles such as Autumn’s
Child, Wind & Fire, and Reflections, Holland showcases the
versatility of the Native American & world flutes, creating
a new acoustic instrumental fusion; an eclectic sound that is
truly one of a kind. Mark Holland started Autumn’s Child
in 1995 and began his publishing and record label, Cedar ‘n’
Sage Music in 1997. He has recorded 24 CDs of his own music to
date. Holland has a B.A. in Music from the University of Missouri.
World percussionist extraordinaire N.
Scott Robinson, Ph.D., brings an enormous breadth
of diverse experience in ethnic percussion traditions to the stage
and the classroom. Currently teaching world musics and popular
music at San Diego Mesa College in CA, he has performed
with a long list of instrumentalists, composers, vocal artists
and ensembles, including Benny Carter Big Band, The Cleveland
Orchestra, Glen Velez, Marilyn Horne, Paul Winter Consort, John
Cage, George Crumb, Annea Lockwood, Howard Levy, Malcolm Dalglish,
Autumn's Child, Gerald Alston, and Jeanie Bryson, among others.
