Amelia’s Natural Homeland: Honoring Ukraine is a multimedia, tour de force program of music that deepens emotional awareness around the meaning of home in light of current events. Presented by the University of Hawaii at Manoa in partnership with the Hawaii Flute Society and Pacific Gateway Center, this cohesive and moving modern concert experience weaves together stories of displacement and disaster with themes of hope and inner sanctuary. 

Lukas brings her highly acclaimed, multifaceted aesthetic to Hawaii, integrating “a diverse and gorgeous array of music” (Cascadia Daily News) for solo flute, piccolo, alto flute, bass flute, and electronics with beautiful, program-specific dance, visual art, lighting, videography, and poetry. Projections of “gorgeous” (Oregon ArtsWatch) artwork by local Ukrainian painter and muralist Tatyana Ostapenko will precede the concert and feature alongside Lukas’ performance of Gemma (by Ukrainian composer Ludmila Yurina). 

Free and open to the public.
