Percussionist, ʻukulele player and composer Abe Lagrimas Jr. will perform with the Galliard String Quartet this weekend. “Exotic Grooves” brings chamber music with a pulse to the stage, with Lagrimas weaving percussion and ʻukulele into strings in a performance that is sure to inspire other musicians to experiment with unexpected combinations of instruments.
It will also be Lagrimas' first time performing drumset with a string quartet. He'll showcase this unique combination in Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 7 with drumset.
The concert takes place on Sept. 4 at 7 p.m. at Doris Duke Theatre and Sept. 5 at 4 p.m. at Palikū Theater. Tickets are available at chambermusichawaii.org or by calling 808-489-5038, and will be available at the door.
