Darel Stark on Classical Pacific

Lutheran Church of Honolulu's First Monday Chamber Concerts features Darel Stark on Monday, March 3rd at 7p.m. Stark, the associate principal 2nd violinist with the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra, presents The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi with colleagues from the HSO, Stark's Vocalise with Georgine Stark, and works by J.S. Bach. Barry Wenger, Organist and Director of Music and Liturgy at the Lutheran Church of Honolulu, joins the conversation to discuss the 300th anniversaries of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Stark's violin, as well as the concert programming to celebrate with family and friends.

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.
