The program will feature famous selections by George Gershwin, Aaron Copland, John Williams, and more. The concert will be on Sunday, May 21, at 2 p.m. in the Kahilu Theatre. Artistic director and conductor Brian Dollinger speaks with Evening Concert host Craig DeSilva about the concert. This concert is made possible by Paul and Ursula Koehler.

Craig DeSilva is glad to be playing recorded music on the air instead of playing for a live audience on stage as did when he studied piano. He began piano lessons when he was a child and continued piano studies at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (where he majored in broadcast journalism and minored in music) under the late Peter Coraggio.
