The Kamuela Philharmonic’s 2019-20 MasterWorks season, Brian Dollinger’s fourth as artistic Director and conductor, will feature the broadest spectrum of the symphonic repertoire. The Kahilu Theatre in Waimea (Kamuela) will once again be home to some of the most anticipated symphonic works performed by the Orchestra to date.

The season consists of three Sunday matinee performances: Oct. 6, 2019, Jan. 26, 2020, and March 22, 2020.

“The 2019-20 MasterWorks season of the Kamuela Philharmonic is going to be a season that brings all of Hawai‘i together for great symphonic music,” Dollinger said. “The upcoming season features Hawaiian guest artists, young virtuosos, the most famous of piano concertos, the most iconic Russian concert suite and some of the most famous pieces inspired by literary works. There will be music for every listener, every experience level and every age.”
