Violinist Jennifer Koh on Evening Concert

Jennifer Koh is in Hawaiʻi to perform a new concerto with the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra and music of Bach at UH’s Orvis Auditorium. Evening Concert host Craig DeSilva speaks to Koh about the concerts, winning a Grammy Award, and helping to elevate new music, women artists, and artists of color.

This classical music conversation aired on Oct. 5, 2023. Evening Concert airs weekdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on HPR-2.

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.
