Live from the Lawn
Hawai'i State Art Museum, Front Lawn
Free Admission
On First Friday, June 4, 2010 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, the Friends of the Hawai‘i State Art Museum (HiSAM) and the Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts present “Aerial Romance”, a composition of movement and sound against the backdrop of the Trees on the Lawn of the museum. The event features live music on the front lawn and is FREE to the public.
“Aerial Romance” will feature a line-up of Jazz musicians Jeff Peterson, Steve Jones and Von Baron, with vocalists Starr Kalahiki, Rocky Brown, and trumpeter DeShannon Higa. All of these artists set the stage for the premier aerial dance of Samadhi Hawaii, suspended from the trees on the Lawn.
Samadhi Hawaii was founded on Maui in 2004 by ‘Ulalena original cast/ aerialist Andrea Torres, with Ana Prada, Marcus Quiniones and Yayoi Hara. An Aerial Dance Performance Troupe made in Hawaii!! Aerial dance takes the grace and precision of ballet, the flexibility of yoga and the whole-body strength, balance and technique of an acrobat. It has by grown into an enormously popular performing group and a school for aerial arts whose students will also perform on the lawn.
Rocky Brown has performed at Carnegie Hall, been featured with the Honolulu Symphony, and performed with Philippine’s well renowned singer/songwriter Jose Marie Chan at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. Most recently Rocky opened a show for world famous jazz trumpeter and pianist Arturo Sandoval and performed with Grammy Award-winning vocal ist, James Ingram at the Roy Sakuma Ukulele Festival.
