Spellbinding music on flutes and harp on a beautiful “old” Florida landscape, in a serene Southwest Florida oasis.
Some of the music, inspired by the natural beauty of SW Florida, will be created especially for this pristine, natural setting.
“Stepping onto this land is like entering a lost, secret world of natural beauty, enveloping body, mind and spirit.”

Refreshments and seating available, or bring your own.

Emmy Award-winning, and Grammy-nominated composer and flutist, Kat Epple, has traveled throughout the world, collecting flutes from other cultures and will be performing on some of those unique instruments this evening. She has performed at the Guggenheim Museums and the National Gallery, has released 23 CDs of original music, and composes and produces music for television, including “National Geographic” and “PBS Nova”.

Harpist and composer, DL “Harpo” Turner, sweeps across the strings of his Hand-Made instrument “The Rose Crystal Harp”, to create a powerful and evocative musical poetry — rich, profound and deeply emotional. He has released many CDs of his own original music, and produces albums for other musicians in many styles

It was a beautiful evening. We had the equipment all set up and soundchecked, then the rain started. We packed it all back up and out of the rain. At 6:30, the rain stopped, and we set it up again, very quickly. The audience was patient with our late start.

Wonderwhirl Hoopers Tribe performed with their hoops.

Enjoy a positive experience - there will be artisans with booths for soothing massage, a wide variety of local vendors sharing their trinkets and art, a pet communicator, music, intuitive readings, and so much more. Lounge on the grass, dance or hoop to the music, maybe to the beat of your own drum. Kick back, relax and expand your mind with keynote speakers, while you enjoy a cold drink and a bite to eat. Expect good conversations with new and old friends alike, as we join together in support of
PEACE ONE DAY.

(This year we will be accepting canned good’s to share. For every 2 cans of food donated by you, get a free raffle ticket toward some peaceful presents.)

Planet Earth 2.0

Posted on August 29th, 2009 by Kat.
Categories: performances, Peace, Kat's adventures.

I attended Tiite’s art opening and presentation of his Planet Earth 2.0 concept. It was an inspiring event, and incredible artist, Tiite, explained his concept for a new operating system for the Earth, and for humankind. The event was well-attended, and our hosts created a beautiful, elegant event.

I performed “Prelude to World Peace” on bass flute for this extraordinary celebration.

Here is how Tiite described the event:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PLANET EARTH 2.0!

— “Birth of Planet Earth 2.0″ event and exhibit takes place in the salon of Frame Gallery and Gift at 1830 Del Prado Blvd., Cape Coral Florida on Saturday, August 29, 2009 at 7:00 p.m.

[Aug. 26] - Worldwide Peace Marker Project Artist Ambassador for The United States, Kat Epple, will perform her original composition titled “Prelude to World Peace” at the “Birth of Planet Earth 2.0″ event Saturday.
For those of you who will be participating from “cyberspace” stay tuned for the follow-up video.

[Aug. 24th] - Two new social media components of Planet Earth 2.0 make their debut today. Tiité posts the first entry in our new Planet Earth 2.0 Blog. Titled “Calendar of Dreams” the short essay references his new painting of the same name. He writes in part, “…you can schedule your own dreams now that we have a calendar of dreams to do so.” Read more and leave comments at
In concert with the new blog, our new Flickr image site, “Planet Earth 2.0 Art” is unveiled. This site debuts with “Calendar of Dreams,” the first of a series of large scale, down-loadable and printable copies of new key works by Tiité. You can access our new image site simply by clicking on the illustrations as they appear in our blog… or, directly, through this link: and http://www.tiite.com/
