Faris Ishaq x BEJE: Siblings Not Fools Tour

Workshop: Playing Nay Reed Flutes

Part of Just Announced Soundworlds

This event has passed.

Faris Ishaq leads an interactive masterclass for those with some experience of playing the flute, recorder or nay, showcasing the diversity and versatility of this instrument and demonstrating the consistent reflective connection that has to be made between the nay, the player and the environment within which it is played.


The oldest flutes to still exist, dating back to 5,000 B.C. ancient Egypt, this end-blown hollow cane flute is a notoriously difficult instrument to master. Learning how to direct air onto the blowing edge to produce sound, move between registers, and alter the pitch of certain notes can take years.

This workshop lasts approximately 1 hour.
