Henry Kapono hosts Hawaiʻi music legends series at Maui Arts & Cultural Center

Grammy-nominated Henry Kapono will host and perform during a four-concert series called the Hawaiʻi Legends Edition of Artist 2 Artist at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center.

Hawaiian Native Kapono will perform with other Hawaiian music legends at the open-air Yokouchi Pavilion.

The series kicks off Feb. 25 with Keola Beamer and featuring his wife Moanalani Beamer. That event will be followed by Jerry Santos on March 19, The Mākaha Sons on April 29 and Ledward Kaapana on May 27. 

All shows are at 7:30 p.m. and cost $45, $55 and $75 plus fees. For MACC members, tickets go on sale, online only, on Feb. 8. Tickets for the general public go on sale Feb. 11. There is a 20% discount for MACC members and a 10% discount for the general public for purchases of the 4-performance series. Non-members may join or renew an expired membership at
mauiarts.org/membership.

“The size and configuration of our Artist 2 Artist series is perfect to be staged in the open-air Yokouchi Pavilion,” MACC President & CEO Art Vento said. “The dramatic pavilion glass roof provides protection from the elements while still maintaining an al fresco environment.”

The Artist 2 Artist concert series turns back the clock to a much simpler time in the islands as part of the ‘Hawaiian Renaissance,’ the seminal movement in Hawai‛i’s cultural history that brought language, music, hula, art and all aspects of Hawaiian culture back to their central place in the life of the Islands.
