A Special Note from the Performers
We would like to express our respect and reverence for the teachers, both musical and academic, who have helped to shape our performance. It is with devotion and humility that we have approached this repertoire, and we are committed to its performance for two reasons:
First, we wish to share with you what we have learned concerning the music and the history of the Hawaiian Islands. It has indeed been an education for all of us. Second, and more importantly, we hope that by our efforts, we may honor the Hawaiian people, whose rich culture and traditions have made this work possible.
Reviews
