HAVEN Trio performs TWINGE, a new work by 东精影业<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> music faculty, Jon Magnussen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

TWINGE, the story of six survivors from the 2004 Indonesian tsunami, comes to the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span>–West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a>. The performance is based on Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Barry Bearak’s New York Times Magazine<\/em> cover story, “The Day The Sea Came.”<\/a> Bearak, composer and 东精影业<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> assistant professor of music Jon Magnussen<\/a><\/strong> and Dallas-based HAVEN Trio collaborated on this unique musical composition—melding words and music in innovatively enhanced storytelling.<\/p>\n

TWINGE is being performed for the first time in Hawaiʻi<\/span> on January 19 at the 东精影业<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> Library, followed by a concert in Hawaiʻi<\/span> Public Radio’s<\/a> intimate Atherton Studio<\/a> on January 21, which will feature live narration by Bearak. The 15-song composition will be performed by the HAVEN Trio, which consists of soprano Lindsay\u00a0Kesselman, clarinetist Kimberly Cole Luevano and pianist Midori Koga. After both performances, Magnussen, Bearak, and the members of the HAVEN Trio will hold a talkback session with the audience.<\/p>\n

Magnussen was inspired to compose TWINGE after reading Bearak’s message of humanity in the dramatic cover story about the survivors of the 2004 tsunami, beginning 24 hours before the tsunami through most of 2005. Says Magnussen, “Bearak’s words can help our community as we expand our ideas about cultural diversity, religious tolerance and survival in a sometimes unstable world.”<\/p>\n
