Small town beauty queen and devout Baptist virgin Marla Mabrey, under contract to the infamous Howard Hughes, arrives in LA where she meets her engaged to be married driver Frank Forbes. Their instant attraction challenges their values and their jobs. Wall Street Journal: “Itʼs a rousing entertainment with eye candy in abundance. Rules Donʼt Apply is witty and weird by turns.” $8 Gen. - $7 Student/Senior 38 Haili St. • 934-7777 www.hilopalace.com lives of world renowned pianist Wu Han, and her brother Wu Hung, first violin of Chamber Music Hawaii’s Galliard String Quartet, are usually separated by some 5,000 miles. On Sunday, Jan. 15, however, the siblings will again make music together when the Hawaii Concert Society presents Wu Han and members of Chamber Music Hawaii in a performance of diverse chamber music. The concert is at 7:30 p.m. in the University of Hawaii at Hilo’s Performing Arts Center. Leading an unusually multifaceted artistic career, Wu Han has risen to international prominence as a concert performer, recording artist, educator, arts administrator and cultural entrepreneur. She and her husband, acclaimed cellist David Finkel, are co-artistic directors of the Chamber Music Society of New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. They’ve been called the power couple of chamber music and they look seriously high-fashion in their publicity photos. But they both say that is not who they are. In particular, Wu Han is always eager to perform with her brother on the other side of the country, and loves to bring chamber music to small town settings. “It is incredibly satisfying to be able to inspire a community with great music,” she said. “Music is food for everyone’s soul. To bring the greatest music to a community; I feel so lucky to have the privilege to do that.” Founded in 1982, Chamber Music Hawaii is the state’s oldest organization of local, professional chamber musicians. With four different ensembles — Galliard String Quartet, Honolulu Brass, Spring Wind Quintet and Tresemble — CMH offers a wide variety of music each season. The featured work on the Hilo program is Ernst von Dohnanyi’s Piano Quintet in C minor. Joining Wu Han and her brother will be the other members of the Galliard Quartet: violinist Susan Liu, violist Colin Belisle and cellist Mark Votapek. Dohnanyi was an admirer of Johannes Brahms, and his piano quintet at times sounds uncannily like the music of the master. It was even acclaimed by Brahms, who allegedly said, “I couldn’t have written it better myself.” Other works on the program, trios by French composer Phillippe Gaubert and English composer Madeleine Dring and an oboe quartet by English composer Malcolm Arnold, will highlight the Spring Wind Quintet’s flutist and oboeist, Susan McGinn and Scott Janusch, as well as violinist Wu Hung and his pianist sister. The program gives the Hilo audience the opportunity to hear less common groupings of instruments in attractive compositions that are normally only performed in large cities. Tickets for the Jan. 15 concert by Wu Han and Chamber Music Hawaii are $25 (general), $20 (60+), and $10 (students) and are available at The Most Irresistible Shop in Hilo, Music Exchange, and the UH-Hilo Performing Arts Center box office. Remaining tickets will be available at the door after 6:45 p.m. Courtesy photo Wu Han will perform on Jan. 15 in Hilo with Chamber Music Hawaii.
