Spiritual Pilgrimage
through Art
 Windward
CC presents The Spirit Guide Series-Works on Paper, a one-person art
exhibition by Ron Kowalke, an emeritus professor
of art at UH Manoa. Kowalke began this work in 1999 and has produced more than
300 images representing the multifaceted layers of emotion and understanding
involved during a spiritual journey. The Spirit Guide Series was created
with acrylic and pastel color pencil. Kowalke used a computer to enlarge his
paintings and then reworked the images with the original mixed media.
The Spirit Guide Series will be on display at Windward CC’s Iolani
Gallery through September 27. Gallery hours are Tuesday–Saturday, 1-5 p.m.
For more information, call Toni Martin at (808) 235-1140 or e-mail
her.
WCC
Features an Evening of Chamber Music
Windward CC’s Paliku Theatre presents Pollen Count, an evening of
chamber music with soprano Vicki Gorman, clarinetist James Moffitt and pianist
Stacy McCarrey on September 16, 7:30 p.m.
The free concert will feature selections from Franz Schubert, Matyas Seiber, Franz
Lachner, Arthur Bliss, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Ned Rorem. Rorem’s featured
work, "Ariel," is set to five poems written by Sylvia Plath, two of
them alluding to the rich colors of poppies. Bliss’ piece, "Two Nursery
Rhymes," also features selections that refer to wildflowers.
"Flowers are so much part of life," said Gorman. "They express
joy and sorrow, and throughout the recital there are images that refer to wildflowers
and bouquets that tie the pieces together—from Lachter’s piece to Rorem’s
more contemporary work."
The recital’s name, Pollen Count, draws on the flower imagery and
is also a play on words. "Pollen for the pollen in the flowers and count
for the music count," says Gorman.
Admission is free. For more information, call Paliku Theatre box office at (808)
235-7330. |
