Friday, March 6, 6--9 p.m., Hawai‘i State Art Museum, Free

Playing music from the Balkans and the Near/Middle East, particularly Armenia, Turkey, Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Greece, Partners in Time will take us on a musical journey for First Friday at the Hawai‘i State Art Museum. Besides playing traditional ethnic music, the group also mixes some jazz styling and original jazz-fusion compositions into its music. Improvisational segments are incorporated within many of the tunes, a common practice in both Balkan/Near Eastern music and jazz. The group's instrumentation includes guitar, accordion, dumbek (hand drum), frame drum, and bass.

Joining Partners in Time will be guest musician Souren Baronian, a master player of G-clarinet, soprano saxophone, kaval (flute), dudook (double-reed instrument), dumbek, and tambourine. His playing and his writing are a true synthesis of jazz and authentic Near Eastern music, born of his extensive experience in both areas.

First Friday is a downtown gallery walk held on the first Friday of every month. Galleries and museums, including the Hawai‘i State Art Museum, are open for the event which is free to the public.

Only a block away . . . do not miss your chance to walk next store to Art at the Capitol when the Hawai‘i State Legislature opens its doors to the public to view the artwork from the Art in Public Places Collection. Scheduled from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. More information can be found here: Art at the Capitol.

Both events are free to the public.
