Werner John Bio
  Performer, Composer and Flute-maker

WERNER JOHN has long been drawn to the evocative voices of ancient wood flutes. For the last 25 years he has endeavored to follow this passion wherever it leads. Today, he can be found in his workshop designing and handcrafting flutes; in his studio working on newly composed music; or on stage exploring long lost sounds of our home planet in his Flutewalker Story Concerts. Werner's unique musical art is a blend of indigenous, classical and nature elements which can soothe the stresses of life while evoking our roots and a sense of connection to the natural world.
  Werner first discovered the Native American flute in 1991 and purchased a few.  The first to arrive was made by Ken Light, flutemaker for R. Carlos Nakai. Upon opening the package Werner found a cedar flute with a profile of an eagle as the "bird".
 
Deep in the woods Werner suddenly heard a loud piercing cry. A magnificent bird took flight and landed in a lone tree not far down a steep hill. There silhouetted against the setting sun was an eagle.... which remained for several minutes before majestically gliding away.

Werner’s goal is to explore how music can help heal the human and to fill the gaps between human and nature.
