Choichi Terukina-Sensei from Okinawa, Japan, headlines the "14th Annual Tobe Uta Sanshin 2007 in Hawaii!" 6:30 tonight at the Hawaii Theatre.

Joining Terukina-Sensei and his students for this first Hawaii performance will be four "Super Sensei" from the Tamagusuku School of Dance in Okinawa, and performers from Chinen Village, Terukina-Sensei's home village in southeastern Okinawa. They will perform dances rarely seen outside of their village.

"Tobe Uta Sanshin 2007 in Hawaii!" will also feature over 50 performers from Hawaii, including students from Afuso-ryu Gensei Kai Hawaii Shibu, the only Afuso-ryu school of sanshin outside of Japan.

The program is presented by the Ryukyu Koten Afuso-ryu Ongaku Kenkyu Choichi Kai of Okinawa and its Hawaii school, Afuso-ryu Gensei Kai Hawaii Shibu. The commemorative performance marks Afuso-ryu Gensei Kai's 80th anniversary.

General admission is $30. Tickets for students, senior citizens, military and Hawaii Theatre members are $20; and VIP tickets, which includes premium seating and a concert reception, are $100. There is $2 surcharge to each ticket for the Hawaii Theatre Restoration Fee.
