Workshop with Violinist
Duane Padilla
July 30, 4:30pm – 5:30pm
McCoy Studio Theater
Registration is mandatory.
Violinist Duane Padilla will offer a version of the 1 hour workshop he presented at the American String Teachers Association National Conference that was featured in Strings Magazine.
It’s a hands on, interactive exploration of the history of Hawaiian music that takes students on a journey from the pre-European contact music, to ki ho alu/slack key guitar, to hymn song from the missionaries and takes a detour to the forgotten Hawaiian string band tradition of the late 19th and early 20th century that featured violin.
No preparation of students necessary. They will be playing the entire time and Duane will teach everything from scratch. All audience members are invited to bring an instrument and participate.
The hour session will culminate in a collaborative jam session on Hi’ilawe, a piece composed by Sam Lia, a Hawaiian fiddler based on big island in the early 1900’s and made famous by slack key guitarist Gabby Pahinui.
In the the process of learning the song, both observers and participants will discover the historical roots of what makes Hawaiian music sound Hawaiian.
REGISTRATION CLOSED
PLEASE NOTE: Due to complications from COVID-19, the Quartet for this concert will include cellist Alex Greenbaum performing in place of Joshua Nakazawa. And violinist Mann-Wen Lo will not be performing in the concert. The evening's guest artist, violinist Kisa Uradomo will perform in her place. The Dvorak piece will be performed in place of the originally scheduled Brahms' epic String Quintet No. 2 Op 111.
MANA MUSIC QUARTET presents

Paul January got his first paying gig when he was 11 years old, playing piano for a children’s fashion show in Denver, Colorado. By 1972 he was attending music school, teaching piano and trumpet, and working every weekend, and when his former piano teacher said, “Let’s move to Vegas and play in the orchestras!” he was all in. By 1974 he realized that he couldn’t take the heat (literally as well as figuratively) and found a much more temperate climate and much nicer people in the Reno area, with still plenty of work in the field of music. He spent the next 46 years playing in various spots around Reno and Tahoe, as a single performer playing jazz, standards, and pop, or with groups as large as 17 playing everything from funk to big band jazz. He has had the privilege of working with some of the biggest names ever to grace the stages of Reno and Las Vegas, and has made many friends along the way. But when a global pandemic (we’re looking at you, COVID!) closes down your gig, what to do? The only logical answer is “Retire and move to Hawaii.”
Tom received his first harmonica at the age of 15 in San Francisco as a Christmas gift.
