Ken Kunita hosts - Kaleidoscope

ONA Quartet is a dynamic clarinet ensemble formed by musicians from Australia, Taiwan, and Singapore, brought together through their shared studies in the Netherlands. United by a passion for cross-cultural exploration, they use classical music as a lens to reflect on identity, tradition, and global connection.

Kaleidoscope marks the debut concert of the KONA Quartet. Much like the ever-shifting patterns of a kaleidoscope, this program offers a colorful journey through various cultural soundscapes. The quartet delves into music by composers who interpret cultures beyond their own—expressing fascination, homage, and sometimes romanticized imaginings of the ""other.""
