The ʻōhiʻa lehua is the first tree to grow out of a devastating lava flow. To the Foundation, it serves as an appropriate metaphor of life after death for those who have the Honolulu Symphony Foundation in their estate plans. You may also become a member of the ʻŌhiʻa Lehua Society by making a generous gift to the Honolulu Symphony Foundation of $1,000 or more.
