Festival Mozaic is honored to welcome Grammy-nominated Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai with support from percussionist Will Clipman. This powerful duo brings a meditative and evocative soundscape that draws from Native American traditions, world music, and contemporary improvisation. Nakai, the world’s premier performer of the Native American flute, has released more than 50 albums and performed internationally for decades. He will be joined by Will Clipman, a seven-time Grammy nominee and longtime collaborator, whose rhythmic sensitivity and global instrumentation create an unforgettable sonic experience.

Special Guests Rosewood & Honey kick off this concert with a thirty-minute opening set of their unique three-part harmony arrangements, spanning many eras and genres. In this concert they'll appear in their trio form, comprised of Jenny (vocals/percussion), Jessy (vocals) and Danny (vocals/guitar).
