Singer-songwriter, composer, violinist, and loop pedal-wielding artist Kishi Bashi makes his Musco Center debut on February 28, 2019 at 7:30pm. Backed by the harmonious energy of a string quartet, Kishi Bashi (Kaoro Ishibashi) reimagines the sonic worlds of everything from Dvo k's American String Quartet to his own songs reminiscent of contemporary indie pop to Japanese folk songs to Talking Heads covers.

Chapman University has named its Conservatory of Music in honor of Dr. William Hall, the longtime choral director and performing-arts dean at the university, who is celebrating his 50th year at Chapman this year, and Newport Beach couple Marybelle and Sebastian P. Musco, whose support of performing arts at Chapman has included their leadership of the fundraising drive for the $64 million, 1,100-seat Musco Center for the Arts, set to open on campus in 2015.
