KCC Synthesizer Ensemble Performs at Spring 2009 International Festival

On March 17, 2009, my KCC Synthesizer Ensemble performed a one-hour concert of Japanese and Korean music as part of Kapi’olani Community College’s week-long International Festival events.  This took place in the Ohi’a cafeteria, and included synthesizers, piano, flute, percussion, and vocals.  My student from Siberia, Larisa Mortz, was a guest performer at this concert, sharing her chamus (instrument from the Saha republic, which sounds like a bird) with the audience.  My students enjoyed sharing their music with fellow students, faculty and staff, and the community in this unique cultural event.
