A Journey through Moʻolelo, Music, Art, and Science
Welcome!
You are invited to the Symphony of the Hawaiʻi Seas, a journey that explores Hawaiʻi and our pilina (relationship) with kai (the ocean).

We hope you can join us on this unforgettable experience with the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra to reconnect and celebrate our relationship with the ocean.
Why It Matters
In Hawaiʻi, the ocean has always been more than a resource; the ocean is a provider, a teacher, a source of cultural identity and connection to ancestors. However, the ocean faces many challenges such as pollution, overfishing and warming that disrupt marine ecosystems. Through this symphony, we explore our relationship with the ocean and reimagine our future in harmony with the sea.
E mālama kākou i ke kai!
Let’s all take care of the ocean!
