DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Groupmuse\nMusicians: Eric Silberger\, Duane Padilla\
 , Joshua Akira Nakazawa\, and Mann-Wen Lo\n\nOut in the farthest and most 
 remote reaches of the Pacific Ocean\, there’s an unimaginably vast volca
 nic mountain range that's mostly underwater. The peaks  - which we collect
 ively know as **Hawaiʻi** - that emerge from the Great Blue\, standing in
  the most profound isolation\, a distance that makes microns out of six fe
 et\, have given our whole world the gift of **Aloha**. It’s a message of
  salutation\, affection\, peace\, compassion and mercy - but more fundamen
 tally\, it’s a notion that seeks to define the force of love that holds 
 together existence. Oh how greatly we need Aloha in these times. \n\nAnd\,
  as Providence might have it\, quarantined in this most isolated of places
 \, there is a string quartet of four of the rising generation's finest str
 ing players cooped up together with nothing but their instruments\, a reco
 rding studio\, and thousands of dollars' worth of A/V equipment. **And so 
 this Saturday\, naturally\, we Massivemuse.**\n\nWith Tchaikovsky-prize wi
 nning violinist **Eric Silberger** on first violin\, the quartet is ready 
 with a profound statement of love from thousands of miles away. See\, it t
 urns out that the last monarch of Hawaiʻi - **Queen Liliʻuokalani** - po
 ured forth with a deluge of song from her imprisonment following the imper
 ialist coup that forced her from power\, and this string quartet has worke
 d doggedly to honor her spirit by arranging her music for string quartet\\
 *. And so\, the first half of the program is a selection of those gems fro
 m this ocean oasis\, coupled with a few movements of solo Bach because: **
 Bach**.\n\nThen\, for the second half\, the quartet will be delivering the
  goods: **a full Beethoven string quartet - his Op. 18/4**. We weren’t m
 essing around when we said we were intent on celebrating this towering Gen
 ius in his 250th year\, even if every concert hall in the world has fallen
  dark and silent. \n\nLike all live-stream Massivemuses\, we’ll start wi
 th a Zoom hang\, and then head to a high-quality livestream\, and then com
 e back to Zoom for a Q&A conversation with the artists. \n\nWe’re chargi
 ng $3 to reserve a spot\, and asking folks to pay-what-you-can at the perf
 ormance. \n\nNote: **The event starts at 7.30pm Eastern Daylight Time.**\n
 \nCan’t wait to see you there!\n\n\\*[Read more about the group's incred
