Past Concerts
Our mission of engaging, educating, and enriching all ages around the world through music and the 'ukulele is at the heart of this Concert Series. Though it is being hosted, in person, by Windward Mall in Kāne'ohe, Hawai'i, it will be live-streamed world wide to connect our world wide 'ukulele community with Hawai'i. Our goal is to feature a variety of Hawaiian Artists from all islands, including up and coming artists and keiki groups. We want to provide a safe space for sharing mele (songs) and mo'olelo (stories).
