CAMP VERDE, Ariz. –Beginning Sunday, October 5, the National Park Service will partner with Western National Parks Association to offer a 10:00 a.m. flute circle at Montezuma Castle National Monument. A flute circle is a gathering of people who meet regularly to learn, play, share, or simply enjoy music played on Native American flutes.

The Montezuma Castle flute circle will be led by Mr. Harry Seavey, a WNPA volunteer who has played Native American flutes since 1998. His first two albums, Endless Beginnings (2008) and Footsteps (2009), received recognition at the Indian Summer Music Awards. In 2014, he released his latest album, a compilation entitled The Messenger.

Montezuma Castle is located at 2800 Montezuma Castle Road in Camp Verde, Arizona. Entry to the park is $5 per adult, and children 15 years of age and younger are admitted for free.
