Nothing But Treble Brings One Charming Night to Hilo
Hilo, HI January 13, 2014 – Amy Horst, Soprano, and Dorothy Williams, Piano, are Nothing But Treble. They bring their unique interpretations of classics, folk songs, and standard favorites to Hilo on Saturday, January 25, at 7:30 p.m. at the First United Protestant Church. Tickets are $10.00 general and $7.00 students and seniors. Tickets are available at Basically Books in Hilo, Keaau Natural Foods, and at the door. For more information, call 640-2898.
One Charming Night presents a sampling of the duo's favorite music. Offerings range from Purcell's aria for soprano and continuo, “One Charming Night (Secrecy's Song),” to Schubert's gracious “The Shepherd on the Rock” featuring Elan Kobel on clarinet. Nothing But Treble brings to life songs and arias of Mozart, Puccini, Purcell, Schubert, and local singer/conductor/composer Pedro Ka'awaloa. They move audiences with stirringly emotive stylings of these classic works.
Nothing But Treble also performs folk and standard repertoire during One Charming Night. English and Irish folk tunes arranged by Roger Quilter; and American folk music arranged and created by John Jacob Niles and Luigi Zaninelli join a set of perennial Nothing But Treble standard favorites.
Nothing But Treble includes Hilo based soprano Amy Horst, known locally for her one-woman shows Show Off, Met Me At the Moon, Bach to Broadway, and Friendship, as well as for her music teaching and choral conducting; and Minneapolis based pianist Dorothy Williams, who combines church organ and piano duties with collaborative and solo piano work around the Twin Cities. The two met just two and a half years ago in Minneapolis, and have performed there regularly since that time. This is their second Hilo concert together.
When asked how the duo created One Charming Night, Amy Horst said, “Inspired by music that sparkled even as it felt earthy, we collected a set of songs and arias that engage and play with the questions, thoughts, and feelings that arise with the night,” and Dorothy Williams responded, “This is a great program – very evocative of its title.”
Nothing But Treble's One Charming Night, comes to Hilo January 25, 2014, at 7:30 p.m. at the First United Protestant Church for one show only. Tickets are $10.00 general, $7.00 students and seniors, and are available at Basically Books, Keaau Natural Foods, and at the door. Call 640-2898 for more information.
