Biography:
With ten albums to his credit, the name Gary Stroutsos has become an established name in the world of meditative flute music. Having his music featured on the Ken Burns' PBS Documentary Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery lead to a command performance at the White House for President Bill Clinton. This exposure, along with features on the NPR syndicated program 'Echoes' (with John Diliberto) and Skitch Henderson's 'New York Evening at the Pops' have taken Gary into the homes of many Americans. With a complete musical background in American Jazz, Afro-Cuban and American Indian music, Gary incorporates his divergent styles to push the boundaries of all known genres - weaving delicate melodies into a global landscape.
