Classical Pacific, Monday, February 5, 2018: A Concert for Paul Barrett

Photo from Paul Barrett's profile on the UH website

Paul Barrett passed away last weekend. He was the principal bassoonist of the Honolulu/Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra for many years, and taught generations of students at the University of Hawai‘i beginning in 1978. Paul was instrumental in getting my non-profit El Sistema-inspired music program Kalikolehua started, and he and his bassoon were a big hit with the students. Paul was a gifted musician and a wonderful friend to many people. He will be greatly missed. In his memory, I'm focusing this program mostly on the bassoon today. Join me for music by Vivaldi, Mozart, Handel, Shostakovich, Beethoven, Mignone, Villa-Lobos, Bruch, Bach and Foster.
