COMING UP
Music by the sea
The first Music by the Sea Chamber Music Festival will be held Thursday and Friday at Calvary by the Sea Lutheran Church. Each night will feature a different program of classical music -- such as Beethoven's Piano Trio No. 2, Schubert's "Trout" Quintet and Mendelssohn's Octet for Strings -- performed against the church's glass wall with its view of the ocean.
The festival is organized by Iolani School graduate Anthony Arnone and his wife, Hannah Holman, both cellists teaching at the University of Iowa. The musicians are primarily faculty from their college, although some are originally from as far away as Turkey and the Soviet Union.
The concerts are at 7 each night. Tickets are $20, $10 students and seniors.
