Suites No. 1, 2 and 3 comprise Alison's May 2010 master's thesis, Three Suites: A Celebration of Klezmer.

As a composer, my approach is to create spaces that support and highlight musical conversation. Some of the conversations are notated, to be read/interpreted by a performer. Some of the conversations are to be improvised.

Though the development of electronic and electro-acoustic music is extraordinary in so many ways, I am not inclined to incorporate computer technology as a voice in a composition. Call me old-fashioned, but frankly I do not want us to forget the possibilities of acoustic music, particularly its ability to touch the very souls of our beings.

These compositions are not easily described by applying a particular genre description, so for now we call them art music.

(as in "ma" like in ma and pa

"ha" rhymes with ma,

"lo" as in how low can you go)

means more than

thank you in Hawaiian;

it is an expression

of deep gratitude.

It is this spirit that serves as

the foundation for

mahaloArts.

We are inspired to embrace

with profound gratitude

our music, our art,

our livelihood,

our lives.

Our mission is to

facilitate, develop

and present

artistic endeavors of

positive, constructive,

and engaging manner

that underscore gratefulness

of being alive.
