In what will be Hayashi's first official season with the quintet, the group will play selections from works by William Grant Still, Irving Fine, Miguel del Aguila, and Percy Grainger. They discuss the prolific nature of William Grant Still and his importance in American music and the virtuosity required to play Aguila's "Wind Quintet No. 2."

Doris Duke Theatre
January 17
7:00 p.m.

Palikū Theatre
