Kula, HI (Top40 Charts/ Ebb & Flow Arts) - From July 25 - August 1, 2009, Ebb & Flow Arts will present Summer
Music Hawai'i - a series of five events comprising modern and classical chamber music plus multi media events. One event will occur in Honolulu.
"Ebb & Flow Arts is the only arts presenter in Hawai'i, to receive an award in 2009, from National Endowment for the Arts in the Challenge America category," says E&FA founder and director, Robert Pollock. "This grant enables us to bring leading performers from San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, the Tilden Trio, to Hawai'i," he adds. On July 25, Tilden Trio will premiere Sarn Oliver's new trio at Doris Duke Theater, Honolulu. E&FA commissioned this work as a result of a grant from Argosy Foundation Contemporary Music Fund (Milwaukee).
Tilden Trio will offer music workshops for children, July 27, 10am - 1pm, at Makawao Union Church. Admission to all events is free. For further information, write E&FA, Box 1081, Kula HI 96790; reach the website: www.ebbandflowarts.org, and call: (808) 876 1854.
