Anna Lenhart and Jim Moffitt on Classical Pacific

Chamber Music Hawaiʻi presents the Hawaiʻi Brass Quintet with two concerts this month — HBQ at the Blue Note on Dec. 16 and Holiday Brass at the Cathedral of St. Andrew's on Dec. 21. HBQ French horn player Anna Lenhart and Jim Moffitt, President of Chamber Music Hawaiʻi, visit HPR with music to celebrate the season.

Sharene Keliʻipunilei Lum Taba grew up in Pearl City listening to a variety of music – mostly in the car and the choice of the driver (Grandma, Mom, Dad, sister or brother). It ranged from Hawaiian to Japanese Enka to Top 40 to HPR. Sharene played the violin in school, and is now a professional freelance harpist and mother. She and husband jazz bassist Dean Taba love to play and listen to music, and are raising their children to celebrate the love of learning and of all kinds of music.
