Clara Kim Presents: Koʻu Inoa

Join us in the lobby for a solo performance by violinist Clara Kim, featuring contemporary classical works by composers with whom she has personal connections. The repertoire includes pieces by Los Angeles–based Sarah Gibson, Bobby Ge (a Barlow Prize winner), and two works by Kanaka Maoli composer and multimedia artist Leilehua Lanzilotti.
The performance explores themes of time, place, and personal memory – touching on experiences ranging from childhood nostalgia to the COVID era to the shores of Hawaiʻi. Along the way, Kim will offer insights into each composer and their work. A 10-minute audience Q&A will follow.
