CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — Marram is presenting Wild Violets, a new series of concerts showcasing soloists on Prince Edward Island, curated by Laurie Murphy.
The first concert, Songs of Love, on Friday, Feb. 14, 7 p.m., will feature countertenor Vhikthør Vhølkhem, born in the United Mexican States and a recent graduate of the Holland College School of Performing Arts (SoPA).

Accompanying Vhølkhem on piano is Paulina Hernandez, a classically trained pianist from Mexico studying her second year in piano performance at SoPA.
