Recycled Orchestra Concert
May 8, 2026 at 5:00 PM
Capitol Modern: the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum
Free concert with the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura (La Orquesta de Instrumentos Reciclados de Cateura) from Paraguay with special guest Benjamin Fairfield. The instruments played by the members of this orchestra imitate violins, violas, cellos, double basses, guitars, flutes, saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and percussion instruments, but are constructed entirely from trash. Their repertoire includes classical music, folk music, Paraguayan music, Latin American music, and music by the Beatles and Frank Sinatra, among others. Presented in partnership with the East-West Center of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
