The electrifying horn player Lou Marini and well-known musician Bruce Hamada will present a one-hour lecture and demonstration at our library!
Lou Marini currently tours with James Taylor and the Blues Brothers Band, and is one of the most sought-after session horn players on saxophone, flute, and clarinet. An original member of the Blues Brothers Band, he appeared in both Blues Brothers movies and plays on their worldwide tours, as well as performing with many other famous musical groups.
This program is produced by the UH Manoa Outreach College's Statewide Cultural Extension Program. Many thanks to the Friends of the Aina Haina Public Library for providing funding for this exciting presentation.
Baroque music forms the major portion of the classic music from the 17th century. Key composers include Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, George Frideric Handel, Claudio Monteverdi, Domenico Scarlatti, Alessandro Scarlatti, Henry Purcell, Georg Philipp Telemann and the likes. The Baroque period saw the creation of tonality, an approach to writing music in which a song or piece is written in a particular key; this kind of arrangement has continued to be used in almost all Western popular music.
Steve Weeks performs with both a boisterous sense of humor and a deep sense of purpose. “We’re supposed to be entertaining and educating kids,” the Colorado-based singer-songwriter enthuses. “I am sincere about the music I write. If it’s not coming from the heart or isn’t fun, I won’t write it.”
