Pamela's Biography

Pamela Whitman’s visionary style of interdisciplinary music-making and peace-making brings people and cultures together. She performs classical, world and original meditation music on a collection of rare flutes from around the globe, incorporating multiple creative mediums and genres. The L. A. Xpress has described her concerts as “a unique blend of compassion, technique, style, cultural diversity and personality.” 

She has produced and performed in Asia, Europe, Central America and the United States at such diverse venues as Xinghai Concert Hall in Guangzhou, China; The Birendra International Convention Center in Kathmandu, Nepal; Carnegie Hall in New York; The Himalayan Hard Rock Café;  The House of Blues in Hollywood; The Holland Festival in Amsterdam; The International Juni Festwochen in Zurich; Maggio Musicale in Florence, Italy; Karlheinz Stockhausen’s La Scala Production, Samstag Aus Licht (Saturday from Light) in Milan (world premiere) and at Indian Reservations and concert stages nationwide.

Whitman created and directed the multi-cultural world-rock band WorldColor which toured nationally for fourteen years as an artistic affirmation of a Native American peace prophecy. The band united musicians from the four directions of the earth and educated audiences about world cultures through traditional world music, visual arts and original rock with a message of world peace. Whitman led WorldColor in a three-year cultural exchange with the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal. The project was the subject of a “Young Asia” (YATV) television documentary that aired in seventeen Asian countries to an estimated viewing audience of 250 million people. “Young Asia” is a project of the Worldview International Foundation, providing a catalyst for social change, with channels in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Vietnam, Nepal, India and more. In 2002 Artists for a Better World honored Pamela in an international award ceremony in Hollywood for her humanitarian work as an artist.

Whitman was the first American to host a radio program on the Himalayan Broadcasting Company. Her HBC program “Miracles” was the forerunner of today’s “Miracle Revolution” which she hosts live on Mondays on 91.7 FM from 4:00 – 6:00 pm in New Jersey and on Unity Online Radio  via archived MP3 download. A Licensed Practitioner of A Course in Miracles, Whitman lectures nationally about peace and A Course in Miracles at New Thought churches, yoga centers, spiritual centers and women's groups. Pamela is in the Ministerial Program at the Community Miracle Center. She has recently made guest appearances with best selling-authors Marianne Williamson (“A Return to Love”) and Don Jose Ruiz (“The Fifth Agreement”).

Pamela earned her degree in Flute Performance from the University of Michigan and has been the Principal Flutist of The Ocean City Pops Orchestra since 1989. She is a descendent of great American poet Walt Whitman.

Quotes

"For Pamela, music is a beautiful medium to reach God. She touches the human soul with her flute."

(New Generation Magazine, Nepal)

"Flutist Pamela Whitman is of that rare breed who can breathe life back into Bach, Debussy and Telemann, for those of us who can enjoy the great performances, but are left with polite acknowledgment for the vast majority of resurrected classical composition...Pamela's "Solo Flight" is an example of her ability to communicate formidable ideas."

(Music BIZ Magazine)

"Miss Whitman has found a way to consistently present new and unique musical visions, based on the sounds and styles of diverse and time honored indigenous cultures world wide."
