Since 1982 Chamber Music Hawaii has featured three ensembles – the Galliard String Quartet, Honolulu Brass Quintet and Spring Wind Quintet, all Honolulu Symphony musicians. Each ensemble presents two programs during the concert series along with education outreach programs in Hawai`i schools. The ensembles also collaborate to form a Tresemble for additional programs that feature a variety of repertoire for mixed instrumentation, which is frequently overlooked in many concert series. Chamber Music Hawaii has appeared throughout Hawaii, Mainland U.S.A., Europe and Asia.
