Featuring Henry Kapono & The Songs of C&K, Brother Noland, Sistah Robi Kahakalau, Kalaʻe & Kalena Parish, and Hawaiʻi's next generation of voices from the Foundation's On the Rise Program, the evening celebrates the music that has shaped Hawaiʻi while inspiring the artists who will carry it forward. The concert is part of Home In The Islands®, the signature initiative of Henry Kapono Foundation Month, a statewide celebration of Hawaiʻi's music, culture, and aloha.

The concert also marks the launch of a new partnership between the Henry Kapono Foundation and Kahilu Theatre, reflecting a shared commitment to strengthening Hawaiʻi's music community and investing in its next generation of artists.

As part of this collaboration, Kahilu Theatre will welcome HKF On the Rise artists throughout its 2026–2027 season, creating meaningful performance opportunities while helping shape the future of Hawaiʻi's music.
