“Stefan has been tremendous for HCMF since his debut in 2021,” says Founder Chris Yick. “As a growing chamber music festival, we feel having a superstar like Jackiw will not only elevate our artistic and organizational profile but also increase our educational efforts here in the local community of Honolulu. He is the perfect fit for our organization. We give our warmest aloha to Stefan and we’re excited to have another valuable addition to the Hawaii community.”
Jackiw will begin his initial term of 3 years starting Fall 2023. “I’m excited to join HCMF as their Artistic Director,” says Stefan Jackiw. Since my debut in 2021, I’ve found Honolulu to be a warm and welcoming community. I’ve been able to meet new musicians and perform for some of the best audiences. Their Young Artist Program has reaffirmed my love for teaching and I’m incredibly inspired by the level of talent in the local community. I look forward to growing the festival and really creating an impact as I make Honolulu another home for me.”
