Hawai'i Symphony Orchestra

our head of the company for Hawaii in Highgate, Mr. Kelly Sanders, my boss, group president, had this unique idea.

He sat on the Hawaii Symphony Board, and the Hawaii Symphony, for the most part, 99% of the time performs only on Oahu.

And Kelly came up with this idea that he wanted to bring the symphony to Maui

and then

She will also be in Hawaii.

That's gonna be with the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra coming up this coming Saturday and Sunday.

Select tickets are still available.

Uh, let me see here.

When Jake Taniguchi was a kid growing up in Hawaii, his grandfather took him to classical concerts.

One of the very first conductors he remembers seeing was Andreas Delfs, who was then the music director of the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra.

Fast-forward a couple decades, and Delfs is the RPO's music director, and Taniguchi is now working as his assistant

For me, it really feels like a full circle moment to be back with this person who I saw so many years ago
