Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra’s HapaSymphony series featuring Robert Cazimero. Robert was his usual incomparable self and the connection he displayed with Maestro Dane Lam was a joy to witness.
While I have had the pleasure of attending performances by Robert with only his piano accompaniment, I was enthralled by the orchestra accompaniment arranged by Michael-Thomas Foumai.
We had such a good time that we bought tickets to the next HapaSymphony concert.
The evening was marred only by the parking situation. The conversion to credit-card-only with no attendant does a great disservice to the public, especially after an event like this.
