Listen to the recording released here

Flutist Yael “KAT” Modiano Acher and composer/pianist David Haney have recorded a special performance using the world-renowned Great Stalacpipe Organ, located deep within Luray Caverns. The unique session, which took place on July 14, 2025, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., captures a one-of-a-kind collaboration between the flute and the natural acoustics of the caverns.

The Great Stalacpipe Organ, conceived by Leland W. Sprinkle, creates its sound by using mallets to tap on ancient stalactites, which produce varying tones. This rare instrument provided a dramatic and resonant backdrop for Modiano Acher’s flute performance. The recording was produced by Yael “KAT” Modiano Acher, Patrick Hinely, and David Haney for Cadence Media.
