HONOLULU — Native Hawaiian composer and violinist Anne Leilehua Lanzilotti will premiere a brand new work this month impressed by Lahaina midday, the Honolulu mayor’s workplace stated Friday.
The Mayor’s Workplace of Tradition and the Arts commissioned the composition along with Chamber Music Hawaii. The chamber will carry out the work at midday on Might 26.
Lahaina midday refers back to the second when the solar passes precisely overhead at noon and objects with easy sides seem to haven’t any shadow. The phenomenon happens in Might and July and may solely be noticed within the tropics.
In Hawaiian tradition, Lahaina midday is seen as a time of nice mana, or energy, when the solar is overhead and the shadow retreats into the physique.
The work will debut at a celebration honoring the forty fifth anniversary of Sky Gate, a 1977 sculpture by the late artist Isamu Noguchi. At Lahaina midday, the sculpture initiatives an ideal ring.
Sky Gate is situated on the garden between Honolulu Hale and the Frank Fasi Municipal Constructing.
