Solo

As a Solo flautist, Kat's music creates a beautiful, celestial ambiance as the sound of the various flutes seems to waft and float from canyon walls, to the rainforest, to a cool Celtic stream, as she performs on classical flute, bass flute, Native American flute, and various flutes from around the world. The solo flute sound is perfect acoustically or with sound amplification, when a soft, elegant background is desired, or as a truly unique sound on the concert stage.

Kat's live solo performances include: the Guggenheim Museum in NYC, and Spain, The National Gallery, Washington DC, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC, concerts at the Hollywood Palace, L.A., Palazzo dei Diamanti in Italy, Naples Winter Wine Festival, with Dance Troupes, and for many art openings. She has traveled to the far reaches of the globe including China, Africa, Russia, The Amazon, Europe, Peru, Mexico, Japan, Costa Rica, and the Caribbean, to learn of the people, natural environment, and the music of other cultures. She uses music in her work toward environmental and humanitarian awareness, and has amassed a large collection of flutes from cultures around the world, which she features in her original compositions.

... simple, heartfelt, atmospheric and extremely beautiful.

Duets

Flute with a keyboardist is a fuller, yet ethereal sound, and incorporates new age, Impressionistic, Celtic and classical elements. The music is all original, with a sophisticated ambient sound, and is performed and composed by long-time friends, Kat and Chuck Grinnell. It is Spellbinding and flowing, with exquisite intricacies, this music can create a perfect relaxed and intimate atmosphere, as the melodies, chords, and textures are unique and complex, and are performed by two incredibly accomplished, innovative instrumentalists. Perfect for art opening, cocktail hour, elegant party, or in the concert hall. Their recently released album, "Azure Pieces of Life" is distributed worldwide.

...rippling piano chords fill the background, with notes hanging suspended and flutes wafting over the surface, to create a feel of wide open spaces and cozy warmth. Other tracks exhibit a slightly more "jazz" influence, then a touch of romance, then a touch of almost Victorian and then glimpses of blue skies and clear waters as the almost Mediterranean vibe comes upon us. Overall, it's gorgeous. Just flutes and keyboards and music distilled to a melodic, atmospheric rich and rewarding whole that serves the head and the heart on languid, sunny days when all you want to do is float away to that special place."Andy Garibaldi (Dead Earnest"), (Essex, UK)

The Flute and harp duet creates an elegant mellow
background for cocktail parties, dinners, art openings, for wedding ceremonies on the beach, or at the church or temple. This music, created by Kat Epple on flute, and harpist, DL "Harpo" Turner, is instrumental, original, ambient, New Age, Celtic, celestial, light jazz, with classical impressionistic influences. Classical flute, bass flute, Native American flute, celestial harp, and acoustic
guitar. DL's stunning instrument, The Rose Crystal, is a one-of-a-kind hand-crafted classic forty-string lever harp, painted with roses, vines, and hummingbirds.

This World Fusion ensemble is perfect for any event where a truly unique, artsy, atmosphere is desired, or for the concert hall. Some of the musical instruments include: celtic flute, Native American flute, African Drums, classical flute, Calusa sounds, Australian Didjeridoo, keyboard, stand-up bass, and Kalimba. Their live performance travels musically from a cool Celtic stream, to a smooth jazz sound, to the jungles of Africa, to a Latin flare.

"Listening to Kat's band could be compared to walking in a forest late at night and listening to the sounds of nature, or wading into the sea at the first light of dawn, and feeling the crash of the waves." Maureen Bashaw, Fort Myers News-Press
