The Orchestra of the Hawaiian Islands debuted to great acclaim on March 20, 2010 at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai.
Members of the Honolulu Symphony were joined by guest artists Kohala, and Grammy award winning guitarist Charles Brotman.
A second concert, “Pacific Moon Under the Stars” featured a musical exchange with Japan.
Philip Simmons guest conducted the Ensemble Orchestra Sendai on December 26.
On January 8, professional musicians from the Big Island, Oahu, and Maui, came together to perform
"Lo'ihi: Birth of an Island" with special guests Danny and Anna Akaka.
The Chamber Group Tropix performed concerts in Hilo and on the Kohala Coast November 5 and 6th.
The Orchestra of the Hawaiian Islands brings Hawaiians together in appreciation of the natural beauty of symphonic music.
Through performances and educational outreach, the orchestra invites full collaboration with the many diverse communities which make up the Hawaiian Islands.
The orchestra is working to define and preserve Hawaiian culture, respectfully integrating it into the mainstream of contemporary American classical music.
