Kamuela, HI – Kahilu Theatre announces two Kahilu Gold Concerts to raise money for its Arts Ed @ Kahilu education programs. The concerts, held at exclusive and intimate off-site venues, will feature celebrated Hawaiian musicians Makana and John Cruz.
The idea behind the fundraising concerts is to have exceptional artists performing in beautiful and intimate locales on Hawai‘i Island, providing event goers with an upscale and truly unique experience set against a backdrop of night skies, ocean breezes, and island style living. Included the in the ticket price are heavy pupu and libations.
“The Kahilu Gold Concert series allows us to extend our reach to a new audience and bring attention to a resource people may not have even known existed,” said Deb Goodwin, Executive Director for Kahilu Theatre.
This is the second season of Gold Concerts. During its 2015/16 Presenting Season, Kahilu Theatre presented Lisa Hopkins Seegmiller, Amy Hanaiai‘i, and Dirty Cello.
“As we move forward, our focus is on strengthening our education programs: expanding our role in local schools, ensuring we offer a comprehensive performing arts education program at the Theatre, continuing to bring young students to the Theatre for shows with the artists in our season, and effectively marketing our programs so more of our community can benefit from the arts,” Kahilu Theatre Board President Mimi Kerley said.
The Kahilu Gold Concerts also provide the Theatre a platform to showcase its education programs, as students from the Kahilu Performing Arts Classes (KPAC) will perform routines during both concerts.
The Makana Gold Concert will take place Friday, February 10 at 6 pm. The John Cruz Gold Concert will take place Sunday, March 12 at 6 pm.
Tickets are $150 and available for purchase online at www.kahilutheatre.org, by calling (808) 885-6868, or at the Kahilu Theatre Box Office, at 67-1186 Lindsey Road, Kamuela, HI 96743, Monday-Friday, from 9 am to 1 pm.

Kamuela, HI – Saturday, January 21, at 7 pm, Kahilu Theatre presents one of Australia’s leading performance art companies, Black Arm Band, with their musical theater piece dirtsong. Black Arm Band is internationally acclaimed for its distinctive music theater performances, uniquely powerful visual imagery, and the celebration of indigenous music, culture, and language.
Set against a stunning backdrop of moving imagery and text inspired by the words of Alexis Wright (Miles Franklin Award winner) and featuring songs performed in thirteen different Aboriginal languages, dirtsong is a powerful musical journey through Australia's cultural heartland.
The show is a large-scale musical production to stir the soul and is drawn wholly from Aboriginal Australia. It mixes traditional approaches and contemporary songs, existing repertoire, and newly commissioned music to conjure a sense of “country” not only as a geographical place, but also as encounters, memories, obligations, and nature.

Fred Leone, Troy Brady, Deline Briscoe, Shellie Morris, Nicole Lampton
dirtsong Band:
Tjupurru: Yidaki/Didjeribone
Michael Meagher: Bass
Rory McDougall: Drums
Doors open at 6 pm for the performance, and there will be beverages and snacks available for sale at the bar. The Voyager Exhibit will be on display in the Kahilu Theatre galleries.
Tickets are $68 / $48 / $38 / $20 and are available for purchase online at www.kahilutheatre.org, by calling (808) 885-6868, or at the Kahilu Theatre Box Office at 67-1186 Lindsey Road, Kamuela, HI 96743, Monday – Friday, from 9 am to 1 pm.
