Gene Schiller joined HPR in September, 1993 as a board operator. His first break came when he was asked to fill in for Music Director Alan Bunin. Six months later, he became the new host of Evening Concert, a program that runs on HPR-2 from 6 to 8 p.m. on weeknights.
This concert is titled “Stefan’s Salon at the Kahala” and was presented at the Kahala Hotel in Honolulu. It also features a special preview of Haydn’s “Bird” by the Kaimana Quartet.
This concert, titled ALOHA FRIDAY, begins season 8, and was performed at the Orvis Auditorium at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, in honor of a legendary figure in Hawaiʻi’s classical music scene, Henry Miyamura. It features opening remarks by HCMF founder and president, Chris Yick and HCMF Artistic Director/Violinist, Stefan Jackiw.
