By popular demand, Symphony of the Hawaiʻi Seas returns this summer for an encore presentation and best of all, it’s free and open to the public with reservations.
The enchanting world of Hawaiʻi’s seas comes to life in this captivating experience that intertwines projected animation, evocative music, storytelling, and hula.
Featuring original compositions by renowned local talents Michael-Thomas Foumai, Herb Mahelona, Takuma Itoh, Logyn Okuda, and Justin Park, vibrant animations bring to life powerful stories that highlight our fundamental connection to the ocean.
From the first spark of life, they travel through time alongside native sea life and ʻaumakua, guiding their human friends to understand their vital role in protecting our cherished waters. Join your Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra for this unforgettable free performance!
Arrive early and explore our pre-concert lobby celebration featuring local conservation organizations, interactive activities, and more!
The concert is approximately one hour with no intermission.
A 30-minute post-discussion panel on the making of the program will be held directly after the performance.
