Seattle Times writer Azaria Podplesky remembers flutist Gary Stroutsos, longtime Seattle resident renowned for his work with the North American indigenous flute and member of the Öngtupqa Trio, which Stroutsos formed with Hopi singer Clark Tenakhongva and percussionist Matt Nelson. The trio performed at the University of Washington in April 2024 as part of a three-day residency organized by associate professor John-Carlos Perea and adjunct professor Jessica Bissett Perea. Stroutsos died in October at age 70.
