Art Brut Goes Down Memory Lane at Maxwell's

Although that statement could have made for an awkward moment, Argos's sarcastic and snarky humor helped make Art Brut's show really interesting. Since I wouldn't call myself an expert on the English and German indie rock band's song catalogue, it was hard to tell whether or not his transitions between singing and musical speaking were actual lyrics or just witty banter. Another highlight of the show was during the band's performance of "Modern Art." Not only did Argos go into a longwinded story about his trip to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, he also managed to get the entire room to sit on the floor then start jumping up and down on command. It's as if he had them under a trance and they were ready to do his bidding.

Big Island Chronicle » Blog Archive » Hawaii News — HPAF Season ...

“Exotic Melodies,” Hawaii Performing Arts Festival’s 2011 season opener will take place at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, June 25, 2011, at Davies Chapel on the campus of Hawai’i Preparatory Academy in Waimea.  The concert will feature guest artists from the festival’s renowned faculty performing classical music from around the world and is free to the public.  Audience members are urged to bring a nonperishable food item for food banks in Waimea.  A Meet the Artists reception will follow the performance.

“Opening Night Concert – Exotic Melodies” kicks off a spectacular season, featuring two complete theatrically staged operas, musical theater evenings, concerts of German art song, and Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” presented by HPAF’s string program.

Hawaii’s own Ignace “Iggy” Jang, best known as the concertmaster of the Honolulu Symphony and Laurence Paxton, chair of the music department at the University of Hawaii-Manoa, will perform, along with Brad Ellis, “Brad, the Pianist” from the hit TV show Glee.   The evening will begin with Juliana Gondek and Jennifer McGregor performing the Flower Song from ‘Lakme’. “It’s beautiful and exotic and tropical, a perfect opener to our season!” exclaims Val Underwood, Artistic Director.

The concert is dedicated to the memory of Marium Macion, head of security at HPA, who passed away last August.  “From the very beginning of our festival back in 2005 Marium helped us in so many ways.  A calm and steadying influence, he always had our back.  We miss him a lot,” states Genette Freeman, Executive Director.

Now entering its seventh season, HPAF brings students to the Big Island from around the world, to study and perform together with a stellar international faculty.  The result is 20 concerts in 20 days, many of them free to the public.  Based atHawaii Preparatory Academy in Waimea, the world class festival awards scholarships to young artists from Hawaii and contributes hundreds of thousands of tourist dollars to Hawaii Island’s economy.
