Kimberly Kridler

A long-time fan of the Native American flute, Kimberly began learning to play in earnest May of 2012. Her joy composing and playing for and with others has been nurtured by friends and mentors in the Riverwind, Southwind, and Central Florida Flute Circles, and at the Native Rhythms Festival.

 

She feels equal enthusiasm sharing her simple, heartfelt compositions with small audiences at nursing homes, community centers, cafes, and animal sanctuaries, and with larger audiences at events like the Leesburg Art Festival, Scrub Jay Festival, Silverhawk Native American Flute Gathering, and Native Rhythms Festival.

​

Kimberly is honored to have placed in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Native Rhythms Festival Flute Players’ Competitions and to appear as a guest musician on Painted Raven’s Kindred Spirits and Crossroads CDs. She credits Annette Abbondanza and Holly Harris of Painted Raven with prompting her to record, and friends Wes and Pam Dickey with recording her first demo CD in their living room!

 

Kimberly has just released her first professionally mastered CD, titled One Breath.
