No Sousa in sight.

In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, American Independence looks beyond the usual patriotic soundtrack to offer a broader, more colorful portrait of American classical music.

Spring Wind Quintet is joined by pianist Jonathan Korth for a program full of motion, shimmer, impulse, and song, from Barber’s beloved Summer Music to selections from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess.

This is American music with more than one voice, more than one style, and plenty of surprise.

  • Featuring mezzo-soprano Maya Sypert with Tresemble
    Choreography & dance by Pei-Ling Kao

Step into a world where poetry, music, movement, and hallucination blur together.

Dreams & Delirium centers on Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire, a surreal landmark for voice and ensemble that follows a lovesick clown through fantasy, obsession, humor, violence, and madness. Featuring mezzo-soprano Maya Sypert, choreography and dance by Pei-Ling Kao, and Tresemble, this theatrical program brings Pierrot’s strange moonlit world vividly to life.

Part concert, part dreamscape, and unlike anything else in the season.

  • Feb 6, 2027, 7 PM • Orvis Auditorium
    Feb 7, 2027, 4 PM • Palikū Theatre
  • Honolulu & Windward
  • Featuring Spring Wind Quintet with pianist Jonathan Korth

Every piece has an architecture.

Crosscurrents moves through three distinct musical worlds: the luminous balance of Bach and Mozart, the fractured modernist energy of Hindemith, and the sleek French art-deco brilliance of Poulenc. Each work is built differently, with its own sense of proportion, motion, color, and surprise.

Classical elegance, modernist edge, and French sophistication meet in one vivid program for winds and piano.

Repertoire
BACH/arr. RECHTMAN: Concerto No. 2 “After Vivaldi” for Wind Quintet
MOZART: Quintet for Piano and Winds
HINDEMITH: Kleine Kammermusik, Op. 24 No. 2
POULENC: Sextet, FP 100

Brahms Sextet

  • March 20, 2027, 7 PM • Orvis Auditorium
    March 21, 2027, 4 PM • Palikū Theatre
  • Honolulu & Windward
  • Featuring violinist Jinjoo Cho & cellist Max Geissler with Galliard String Quartet

Two composers grappling with intimacy, vulnerability, and emotional transformation.

Brahms Sextet pairs Brahms’s First String Sextet with Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht, two deeply expressive works for expanded strings. Brahms’s Sextet has often been associated with the aftermath of his broken engagement to Agathe von Siebold, while Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht was inspired by a moonlit story of confession and forgiveness.

Together, the program unfolds with remarkable intimacy, tension, and emotional release.

Repertoire
BRAHMS: String Sextet No. 1 in B-flat major, Op. 18
SCHOENBERG: Verklärte Nacht
