Program Description

Event Details

Relax and enjoy the music of Peter Ali as he plays a variety of contemporary Native American style flutes representing Tribes of the Midwest, Southwest, and Southeast, as well as a Middle Eastern style flute and a Nordic flute. Peter will share his story of how he came to play this magical instrument, how it is tied into his ancestry, and the healing aspects of the Native American flute.   Peter Ali has inspired and comforted many through his music since first hearing the call of a Native American style flute at a low point in his own life. He then found his way towards healing through teaching himself to play the flute.

Peter comes from a unique blending of cultures. His mother is from Sonora Mexico and is of Mayan, Pima Indian, and southern European descent. His father is of Berber descent from Morocco, North Africa. After many years of flute playing, Peter discovered that his paternal grandfather had also played the traditional Ney flute for ceremonies and gatherings. https://www.peterali.net/
