"Orff would have loved it." Jane Vranish, The Pittsburgh Post

Chatauqua Carmina Buranna premiered on July 25 at the Amplitheater. Wayne Hankin took on several roles under the direction of Marty Merkely: performer, composer, director of the early ensemble and lecturer. Among the new works created by Hankin were pieces written specifically for early instruments that encompassed Orff's pre Carmina composing style as well as new works written for the Chatauqua Symphony Orchestra. Between 4-5000 people attended the performances and were well received.

Lark Camp 2015: The return of Lupino Lane
![]() Wayne Hankin conducts The Lark Camp Symphonette, an ensemble of 25 players dedicated to the performance of movie music. This year's feature, Only Me, is one of the last great silent comedies to come out of Hollywood in 1929. An new score written by Hankin was made especially for the occasion. The film has Lane playing up to 25 characters who by chance all appear on the theater stage or in the audience.

Hey Days 2015: Another Great Year in Healdsburg, California

Hey Days is an english dance week located at The Bishops Ranch north of San Francisco. A remarkable week. The week was a respite from the draught which has affected much of the area. Hankin taught, lectured and performed for much of the week with some of the best executioners of the English Country Dance art.

The ASCAPlus award was announced on November 14th. I wish to thank the ASCAP Plus Awards Panel for their continued support of my work in composition. Special thanks to Cia Toscanini, VP in Concert Music.
" The Most directly communicative playing came from ... Wayne Hankin, who played bagpipes with the soulful abandon of a medieval John Coltrane."
New York Times, 11/11/12
" The instrumental pieces, scattered through the program, were energetically played, and the ensemble was well balanced,... The real star among the players, though, was Wayne Hankin, who played flutes — two at a time, in an anonymous Italian saltarello — reeds and the bagpipelike musette."
New York Times, 12/26/11
"One carried away memories of Rameau's unceasing invention, delicacy, and shapeliness. Three highpoints, amid so much that was bewitching were a pastoral sequence in Act I colored by Wayne Hankin's musette whose innocence and charm, so cannily contrived could melt a heart harder then Bel's"
