The Hawaii Performing Arts Festival will present an intimate evening of chamber music classics from Europe and Argentina on Jan. 16 at Hi‘ilani Ecohouse near Honokaa.
Part of HPAF’s annual series of fundraising winter concerts, the night will feature the music of Mozart, Brahms, Debussy and Sarasate performed by Ignace “Iggy” Jang, violinist and concertmaster of the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra, and Cary Lewis, pianist and recording artist.
“This is one of those evenings we love to offer,” said Genette Freeman, HPAF executive director. “Wonderful music, played by exceptional musicians, in an intimate setting with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.
“It’s my favorite way to enjoy classical music, not in a big concert hall but in a beautiful home. The audience is seated close to the performers, catching every nuance and expression, and experiencing the sheer physicality of performing, along with the artist.”
Proceeds from the concert will help fund scholarships and activities for the 2016 HPAF Summer Festival, scheduled for June 28-Aug. 3. More than 25 performances are planned for this year’s festival.
The concert begins at 4 p.m. Admission, including wine and pupus, is $65 per person. To purchase tickets or for more information, visit www.hawaiiperformingartsfestival.org or call 333-7378. Seating is limited.
The concert is hosted by Sherry and David Pettus and Teri and Jim Sugg.
