Enjoy a musical evening of peace and meditation

Big Sky Alive! presents the Sound Reflections Trio at 7 p.m. Friday, March 6, at Community United Methodist Church, 750 Electric Ave. in Bigfork.

The concert celebrates winter and the coming of spring through peaceful and meditative music performed on Native American-style flutes and crystal singing bowls accompanied by piano and percussion instruments.

Three Flathead Valley musicians make up the trio. David Webb, owner of Dakota Windsong Flutes, will perform on his personally crafted Native American-style flutes. Native American flutes are said to be the third oldest musical instruments in the world, preceded only by drums and bone rattles.

Mary McGrath of Glacier Sound Healing Center in Columbia Falls will play a variety of crystal bowls. McGrath holds the equivalent of a master’s degree in sound healing and works both privately and with groups offering a wide variety of sound frequencies, vibration and music for healing.

Big Sky Alive! founder and Music Director, Craig Thomas Naylor, will add some minimalist piano, often playing inside on the strings like a harp, adding various ceremonial drums and metallic percussion. Naylor holds a Doctorate in Music Composition and is a composer, conductor and performer.

Admission is a free-will donation and items of non-perishable food for the Flathead Food Bank. For more information, call 406-250-8867.
