Aoi Trio on Evening Concert

The award-winning Aoi Trio from Japan makes its U.S. debut starting this week in Hawaiʻi. Violinist Kyoko Ogawa spoke to Evening Concert host Craig DeSilva about the Hawaiʻi tour that includes music by Beethoven, Dvorak, and Japanese composer Toshio Hosokawa.

Appearances take place across the state:

Saturday, Feb. 1 at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Orvis Auditorium in a concert presented by Honolulu Chamber Music Series. Sunday, Feb. 2, at Kahilu Theatre. Learn more

Wednesday, Feb. 5 at the Kauaʻi Community Performing Arts Center in a concert presented by Kauaʻi Concert Association.

Thursday, Feb. 6 at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center’s Castle Theater.

Friday, Feb. 7 at the University of Hawaiʻi Hilo Performing Arts Center in a concert presented by the Hawaiʻi Concert Society.

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.
