Critics have poured on praise such as “fiery virtuosity” and “superlative musicianship” for seven prize-winning musicians coming for a series of concerts on Maui in May.
The 44th Maui Classical Music Festival has concerts scheduled May 8 at Makawao Union Church, May 11 at Keawala’i Congregational Church in Makena, May 13 at Wananalua Congregational Church in Hana, and May 15 and 17 at the Historic Iao Theater in Wailuku.
The ensemble’s pianist, Adam Neiman, “plays with imagination and authority, not just an extra helping of technique,” the Chicago Tribune says.
Among his honors are Juilliard’s Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition, the Rubinstein Award and the Avery Fisher Career Grant.
Violinist YooJin Jang has been described as “a performer without fear or technical limitation.”
For violinist David McCarroll, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra ‘s concertmaster, the Washington Post’s verdict was “superlative musicianship and beautiful sound.”
The festival also features two violists – Abigail Rojansky and Pei-Ling Lin.
Rojansky, winner of more than a dozen prizes, has been praised for her “dark tone” and “vibrant musicality.” She is a founding member of the Verona quartet, recipient of the 2020 Cleveland Quartet Award.
Lin was the winner of both the Senior String Division Gold Medal and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition, and the winner of the Walter Naumberg chamber music competition in 2016.
Cellist Angela Park’s highlights include numerous prizes and concerto appearances with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Seoul Philharmonic.
Returning to the festival as both cellist and co-music director is Amir Eldan, also a Julliard Competition winner. He has served as principal cellist of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and guest principal cellist with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. At age 22, he became the youngest member of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra in New York.
The other co-music director is Katherine Collier, a pianist, who has been a leader of the festival since its beginning in 1982.
The festival was founded as the Kapalua Music Festival by Colin and
Margaret Cameron in 1982. More recently, it has reorganized as the Maui Classical Music Festival and is performed in Maui churches chosen for their historical and scenic appeal as well as excellent acoustics.

About the Show
Prepare to be dazzled by world-class entertainer and expert in sleight-of-hand magic, Maui’s own David Kuraya. David is one of six elite magicians– and the only magician from Maui– who performed regularly at the renowned Warren & Annabelle’s Magic Nightclub in Lahaina before the fires. A deeply community-oriented performer, David, carries on the legacy of that beautiful show with the blessing of his longtime friend and mentor Warren. At each show, he donates parts of his proceeds to local charities.
Other upcoming dates in the Series coming soon! Featuring special guest performers!

More About David
David also entertains corporate groups and colleges throughout Hawaii and the United States mainland. He was the strolling magician for Tony Robbins’ “Connect to My Essence” seminar on Maui, resident magician at Mana Kai Resort, and headlining performer at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood. David regularly entertains at private events for politicians, TV stars, and businessmen, such as the founder of Ellie Mae Inc., Sig Anderman, who said of David’s show, “I have worked with many magicians, but David is just THE BEST, as good as it gets, a ten out of ten.” Clients know they get more than magic when they book David Kuraya. His curated routines are original, clean, and personalized for each group. The message of David’s show is, “When we come together, amazing things happen.” The magic does not come from a colorful box or magic wand but through the whole audience’s teamwork. The result is a unique bonding experience that will leave a lasting effect long after the show. See you at showtime!
