Miki Aoki (Kahilu Steinway Series Event)
February 24, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Kahilu Theatre presents Miki Aoki in the next installment of the “Kahilu Steinway Series.”
Miki Aoki is widely recognized for her diverse abilities as a pianist and collaborative artist. As a guest solo artist, she has performed with the National Symphony, London Soloist Chamber Orchestra, Hamburg Camerata and Washington Sinfonietta. Ms. Aoki combines her career performing solo recitals and chamber music, with working alongside young string players.
Ms. Aoki started playing the piano at age 4 and moved to London at age 9 where she joined the Purcell School of Music and she holds degrees from Indiana University and Yale University. In 2007 she obtained a distinction in the Konzertexamen degree at Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg.(Mit Auszeichnung). Ms. Aoki has an excellent reputation as a highly versatile pianist and musician and is therefore in frequent demand not only as a soloist or chamber music partner but also as a teacher and piano accompanist. She is currently appointed as the senior lecturer at Graz University for Music and the Performing Arts, in Austria.
The program for the evening will include works by Dowland, Händel, Elgar, Paul McCartney, Milhaud Caramel, Satie, Poulenc, Chopin, and Fazil Say.
Doors open at 5pm for the performance on Friday, January 24 at 6pm, and there will be snacks and beverages available for sale at the Kahilu Theatre bar. In the Kahilu Galleries, the exhibit “Solo Exhibits 2017” will be on display featuring works by Eli Baxter, Margaret Shields, and Jean René Leblanc.
