This Orchestra is Excellent and Unforgettable!!!
by QMary on 2/2/13Neal S Blaisdell Concert Hall - HonoluluAn incredible, rare chance to see a live Chinese Orchestra, with traditional Chinese instruments played by the best in their country, they blended a touch of Western instruments so well and naturally. The conductors were so inspiring and energetic, and quite entertaining to watch as well. Unexpectedly, the female musicians wore different jewel-tone gowns in different styles, each with a Hawaiian flower over their ear. When these musicians performed, -their selections were fabulous to listen to, and their movement and body language added to the visual delight. Grace, enthusiasm and emotions were beautifully projected. Even the couple who introduced each piece bilingually were excellent!
