Classical Guitar Duo Explores the Washington Landscape Through Music: Neil & Tamara Caulkins

On this episode of the Exploring Washington State Podcast classical guitar duo Neil and Tamara Caulkins talk about their involvement in the Dry Falls project. They share their experience interpreting music both historic and modern and even recount a time they took someone out to a landscape and used it as inspiration for a captivating new piece of music.

The duo also talks about the different types of classical guitars they play and explain how a special type of bracing on the inside of guitars can allow the top to vibrate more freely.

Scott and the duo also explore how music can evoke a particular landscape and discuss a new musical evocation of Dry Falls commissioned by Friends of the Lower Grand Coulee.

Tune in as the Cawkins share their journey through studying and performing and the joys and challenges of caring for wooden instruments over the years.
