Classical comes to Kamuela
Filed Under Sunrise on KGMB9
The Hawaii Performing Arts Festival happens on the Big Island next month. Classical concerts, lectures and workshops will be held mostly at Hawaii Prepatory Academy in Waimea-Kamuela, but also in other venues.
Iggy Jang, concertmaster with the Honolulu Symphony, pianist Helen Goode, and soprano Jennifer MacGregor will do works by Poulenc, Bartok and Satie in the first concert, July 10. That’s just the first evening of weeks of classical music including some chamber works rarely heard on Oahu.
Here’s a link to the full schedule of other concerts, including the one I will emcee July 18 and a production of the early Gilbert & Sullivan opera “Trial By Jury”:

The festival may expand to other islands in the future. For now, if you want to go, you have to spend a day or two on the Big Island. That’s okay — they’ll leave the light on for you.
