Lihue Public Library is proud to welcome the Honolulu Brass Quintet for a free public performance inside our historic library!
Since its inception in 1976, the Honolulu Brass Quintet (HBQ) has performed throughout Honolulu and the state of
Hawai‘i. As one of three resident ensembles regularly presented by Chamber Music Hawai‘i, HBQ offers full-length brass
performances in premier venues across its home island of O‘ahu, performing regularly at the Doris Duke Theatre and Blue
Note Hawaii in Honolulu, as well as the Palikū Theatre on the Windward side of O‘ahu.
The members of the quintet are all full-time professional musicians, performing regularly with the Hawai‘i Symphony
Orchestra and Royal Hawaiian Band, in addition to teaching privately through the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, BYU
Hawai‘i, Punahou and ‘Iolani. This unique combination of talents guarantees the highest level of musical artistry, enriching
the musical life of Hawai‘i through HBQ’s dynamic performances and unwavering commitment to the arts.

Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. Program schedule is subject to change.
