Spring 2024 - Volume 49, No. 3
We start to focus on the 2024 Convention in San Antonio, chatting with five of the exciting musicians who will be participating in Thursday night’s gala concert, FusionFlute; chat with one of the duos presenting their work with young Native American composers in South Dakota; and get to know our three 2024 honorees, Lifetime Achievement Awardees Trudy Kane and David Straubinger, and Distinguished Service Award recipient Leonard Garrison. We also tiptoe into the world of AI (which will have both negative and positive impacts on our industry), looking at one of the potential positives: its use in the studio. And there’s more, including numerous columns with fabulous insight from our committees, news from our members and the NFA offices, and reviews.
