Solo Harmonica Recitals: Hawaii Public Libraries, Oahu

I have had the good fortune of performing solo harmonica recitals for Hawaii Public Libraries, Oahu. Through the kind initial support of Shannon at the Kapolei Library, I have had the wonderful opportunity of performing at the following public libraries on Oahu: Kapolei Library, Aina Haina Library, Kaneohe Library, The Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Kaimuki Library, Hawaii Kai Library, Hawaii State Library, Waikiki Library, and Wahiawa Public Library. I would like to thank the Friends of the Library of Hawaii; they have been very supportive of the recitals.

Here's what audiences are saying about the public library recitals:
