World renowned pipa virtuoso Yang Jing visits Orvis Auditorium for an exciting concert of new works. Combining her love for the millennium-old tradition of Chinese music with an innovative spirit of exploration, Yang Jing builds on a vast amalgam of musical history from both East and West to create a musical experience that transcends boundaries. East and West will indeed merge tonight, as she performs with violist Anna Womack, soprano Rachel Schutz and guzheng player Lai Yi-Chieh. Join us for an evening that includes 6 world premieres by UH composers Donald Womack, Thomas Osborne, Jeffrey Myers, Takeo Kudo, and Byron Yasui, as well as Yang Jing's own award-winning works, including her modern pipa standard "Dance Along the Old Silk Road."
Yang Jing's residency is co-sponsored by the East-West Center, which will present Yang Jing in a concert of mostly traditional Chinese works for pipa, erhu, guzheng, and dizi Sunday February 26, 4:00 pm at the Hawaii Imin International Conference Center.

Manoa Jazz & Heritage Festival
featuring Raul Midon, guitar and vocals
Saturday, March 24, 2012
7:30 p.m., Orvis Auditorium
Tickets available at www.etickethawaii.com, 944-BOWS or a UH ticket outlet.
Search for “Raul Midon” on YouTube and you'll find a clip of the New York-based vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter appearing on The Late Show With David Letterman in 2006. Performing “State of Mind,” the title track from his 2005 debut album, Midon unleashes a silky, soulful tenor and dazzling percussive guitar style - a syncopated, flamenco- and jazz-infused approach in which bass, harmony, and melodic lines emanate from the fretboard in one slap-happy storm. If that weren't enough, Midon busts out his improvisational mouth horn technique, in which he creates a bebop “trumpet” solo entirely with his lips, earning himself a spontaneous burst of mid-song applause from the audience in the process. It's a virtuosic performance, and one that reveals what has made Midon such an exciting artist to watch over the past few years.
The New Mexico native funnels all that creativity and fiery passion into his third album, Synthesis, which he recorded in Los Angeles in June 2009 with legendary producer and bassist Larry Klein, who is noted for his work with such luminaries as Joni Mitchell, Herbie Hancock, and Peter Gabriel. A genre-defying blend of soul, pop, jazz, folk, and Latin elements, Invisible Chains showcases Midon's evolution as an artist as he sets some of his more biting insights about betrayal, fear, loss, and the American Dream to deceptively up-tempo swinging rhythms and deliriously catchy melodies. While “Never Really Gave,” “Don't Take It That Way,” and “Invisible Chains” crackle with tart observation, songs like “Next Generation,” “Call My Name,” and “Moment to Moment” strike a more uplifting tone.
