Hawaii's music community will honor the legacy of renowned piano teacher Ellen Masaki at a free, family-oriented concert on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 7:30 p.m.
The concert will celebrate Masaki’s values, music and inspiration, shared with hundreds of students throughout her more than 50-year teaching career.
The Honolulu Symphony, led by Maestra Ann Krinitsky, will join with Masaki's former students, including concert pianists Lisa Nakamichi and Sean Kennard, in this tribute concert. The concert program features works that Masaki treasured, including works by Mozart, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff.
Young pianist, composer and Masaki student T.J. Tario will join the Symphony in Rachmaninoff's Concerto for Piano No. 2. In addition, five Masaki students will perform Khatcharian's Sabre Dance on five pianos.
Admission to the concert is free, and no tickets are required.
