Hawaii Tribune-Herald Island Beat Thursday, September 21, 2017 3 WINNERS From page 2 making, this year’s group of young musicians was spectacular,” said KPO artistic director and conductor Brian Dollinger. “The level of difficulty that these musicians tackled from memory, as well as incredibly musical, was truly inspirational to me as an educator. It shows what dedication by not only the young musician, but by families and teachers, can produce.” Celina is a student of Nancy Masaki of Honolulu. She gave a lively performance of Georg Goltermann’s Concerto No. 4 in G Major, Opus 65, Mvt. 3: Allegro Molto. Allyson, a student of Sheryl Shohet of Honolulu, was a standout in the largest group of competitors with her emotional rendition of Eduoard Lalo’s Symphonie Espagnole, Opus 21, Mvt. 1: Allegro Non Troppo. Joshua, who also is a student of Masaki, displayed outstanding technique and a vibrant sound during his performance of Edward Elgar’s Concerto in E Minor, Opus 85, Mvt. 1: Adagio Moderato. Violinist Maya Chang, 14, a student of Kathy Hafner of Honolulu, was the runner-up in the middle-age category, playing Max Bruch’s Concerto No. 1 in G Minor, Opus 26, Mvt. 1: Prelude Allegro Moderato. Cellist Alexander Canicosa-Miles, a previous year’s winner in the youngest age category, received an honorable mention for his performance of Concerto in E Flat Major, Opus 107, Mvt. 1: Allegretto by Dmitri Shostakovich. “I am very excited to perform these works in January with our winners,” Dollinger said. “The vast majority of the time, this performance is a first for these musicians and becomes a life-long memory for them. In some cases, it serves as a huge inspiration for them to continue on in life with music. “My goal with every young artist performance is to make it as fun, relaxing, and memorable for the musician. If I accomplish this, their performance will come through with such success that the audience and KPO musicians will feel more closely connected to this memorable experience.” Founding artistic director and conductor Dr. Madeline Schatz-Harris, a longtime teacher, started the concerto competition as a showcase for some of the talent exhibited by local students. Dollinger also is passionate about promoting opportunities for young musicians to learn and display their talents. The Kamuela Philharmonic Orchestra is a charitable organization. The orchestra is eager to continue its sponsorship of the competition. Those who want to contribute to this endeavor, either financially or in other ways, are encouraged to contact the Kamuela Philharmonic Orchestra online at kamuelaphil. org or by mail at P.O.

(NR) DOCUMENTARY Starring: The Dalai Lama, Daniel Goleman, Eve Ekman Directed by: Mickey Lemie For over a thousand years, Tibetan Buddhist psychology has taught techniques for overcoming negative afflictive emotions, such as anger, greed, jealousy, sloth and ignorance. In this film His Holiness explains that Tibetan Buddhism is both a religion and a “science of the mind”; he also shares his crystallized understanding of the nature of the mind. San Francisco Chronicle: “The more an audience member sees the beauty left in the Buddhist leaderʼs wake, the more it becomes clear that his influence has the power to continue generations beyond his passing.” $8 Gen. - $7 Student/Senior 38 Haili St. • 934-7777 www.hilopalace.com Ukulele Hilo-Style!
