Intro
Concert Update: Due to unforeseen changes in artist availability for the performance of Raise Hawaiki, the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra has revised the June 16 program to feature three works.

The season finale of the 23/24 Halekulani Masterworks concludes with a circus of the sea. Music Director Dane Lam leads your Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra through Debussy's vibrant depiction of the Sea, La Mer, Stravinsky's Petrushka, and the Orchestral Suite from Raise Hawaiki by HSO Composer in Residence Michael-Thomas Foumai.
