Featuring:
Jan 6. - Bardin-Niskala Duo (piano, cello)
About the artists: Playing together since 2016, cellist An-Lin Bardin and pianist Naomi Niskala joined as a duo in 2021 in response to the rise in anti-Asian violence and hate crimes across the United States. Through commissioned works by ALAANA (African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, and Native American) composers, the Duo aims to encourage composers to celebrate their racial heritage and embark on the journey to discover where and how they belong.
Jan. 13 - Gahlord Dewald (double bass)
About the artist: Gahlord Dewald is a creative musician exploring textural sound, gesture, and the elements of time on the double bass and electronics. His creative practice integrates community organizing, commissioning newly composed works, and experimental works revealing the physical nature of sound and community.
Jan. 20 - Shawn Conley (double bass)
About the artist: Hawaiʻi-born bassist and composer Shawn Conley grew up loving all types of music. This love of diversity of sound developed into a career that straddles many genres. He has been a member of the Silk Road Ensemble (founded by Yo-Yo Ma) for 10 years and is a member of the Brooklyn-based chamber orchestra The Knights. Recently, he won the principal bass position in the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra.
Jan. 27 - Tommy Morrison (bassoon)
About the artist: Tommy Morrison is a bassoonist with a passion for collaboration and learning. A Northern New Jersey native, he has been serving in the role of Principal Bassoon with the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra and Hawaiʻi Opera Theater since 2017. As a passionate educator, Tommy is on the faculty of the Punahou Music School, The Pacific Music Institute, and the Mānoa School of Music and Art, in addition to being a frequent clinician for the Hawaiʻi Youth Symphony.
