Advertiser Staff Writer

The inaugural "Return to Romance Music Festival," a series of concerts March 1 through March 11 in Honolulu, has partnered with FYE music stores to bring a lucky pair to the Islands for the event.

FYE — For Your Entertainment — will conduct an online contest for out-of-towners, from Feb. 1 through Feb. 21, as part of its Black History Month promotion on FYE.com/wannawin.

The winner will receive round-trip airfare for two to Honolulu, a four-night stay at a Waikiki hotel and a pair of tickets to "A Smooth Romance," a concert March 4 at the Waikiki Shell featuring Matt Catingub's Orchestra of Hawai'i, a 40-piece orchestra with guest stars.

"We're excited to team up with FYE to bring a lucky couple to Hawaii for our inaugural music Festival," said festival producer Allen Sviridoff, in a statement.

Jazz will be one of the elements of the festival, in a variety of configurations, from small quartet to big band to full orchestra.
