Pianist Wendy Yamashita and her longtime teacher and mentor Ernest Chang are joining forces for a piano recital to benefit the University Laboratory School Alumni Association's Fire Fund.Both Lab School graduates, Yamashita and Chang will perform July 1 at 4 p.m. at Mamiya Theatre on the St. Louis-Chaminade campus.
Yamashita received a bachelor's degree and Master of Music from Juilliard School, where she studied under Chang's teacher, the legendary artist Adele Marcus.
On June 13, 2006, a fire completely destroyed a University Laboratory School building that housed the school's athletics, choral, drama, Hawaiian culture and music programs. Proceeds will benefit the restoration of those programs.
Tickets: $20 ($12 for students and seniors), available by calling Lion Mel Aoki at 394-8811, or at the door.
