Sekon!
Welcome
to my website. Some great things coming up. I am currently
workingon
a collaboration with poet/ performance artist, Janet
Rogers (Mohawk/Tuscarora)
on contemporary Mohawk Music -- lyrics on themes and
issues facing
many First Nations people today. Parts of the show
will be presented this
summer and the premiere on September 9, 2006 as part
of the MC World Arts
Festival. Also working on a new classical piece with
Jay Winter Nightwolf
to be premiered at the National Museum for the American
Indian in October.
I have several new albums coming out
this summer -
Alchemy - music for meditation
Viento - classical indigenous
music for modern dance performed by my duo CelloVision
and this fall...
Medicine Shields - chamber music by
Dawn Avery performed by EngleWinds
I am looking forward to performing and
teaching this summer in Maryland, Arizona, and New York.
Soon

flutist - OscarVelasco,
will be adding mp3 files to this page, but until then

“A
mixture of Ethnic and Classical!
A style all her own!”
“Magical,
passionate and virtuosic exploration of ethnic song and
extended technique.”
Kitty Brazelton,
“Sumptuous vocalizing, a style we
associate with Meredith Monk.” Linda Belans,
“Ms. Buckholz Avery’s work evokes
the confusion and pathos of city life, incorporating thorny
jazz textures, folk songs, fierce rock rhythms, and performance-art
set pieces. The composer dominated her instrumental ensemble,
drawing weird sounds from her cello and singing forcefully.
Alex Ross,
“. . .the public was enchanted, demanding an encore!”
Cesar Delgado Martinez,
“. . .her voice produces chants, strongly reminiscent
of medieval song, bringing to mind the Australian duet,
Dead Can Dance, only more daring!” New Music Across
America,

“She plucks, bows and sometimes sings
in a strange language of her own. There’s a freshness
to this work. Suzanne Sloat,
