    Statement of Purpose:
    To provide the public in East Hawaii with opportunities to experience professional artists of national and
    inter-national stature as they perform programs of fine music and dance.
     
    Who We Are:
            The Society is the only organization in East Hawaii doing such work. It is our goal to make available a broad
            spectrum of music and dance. In this way we hope to reach out to the various cultures which comprise our
            diverse community. Typically we present up to eight concerts per season. Working cooperatively with other
            societies in the islands through the efforts of the Hawaii Association of Music Societies [HAMS],  we are
            able to attract high quality performers. Most often our performers are on state-wide tour. Leading pianists,
            violinists, guitarists or other soloists, chamber groups, ballets, vocal ensembles as well as unique ethnic
            musicians bring their talents to our community providing an enriching experience which lightens the heart and
            frees the inner being.

            A subsidiary but very important activity of HCS is providing the children and young adults of East Hawaii with
            direct experiences of classical music and close interactions with the artists. To achieve this the Society arranges
            for visiting artists to present master classes and to appear in local schools (at all grade levels). Comments from
            the youth who have participated, indicate these educational in-services are highly valued as the students not only
            get to experience the performances but also have opportunity to discuss the fine music and dance which they
            have seen.

            We are greatful to the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts for their financial support. We also owe a debt
            of thanks to the corporate sponsors and individual members who make it possible for us to keep ticket prices at
            an affordable level.

    Special Circumstances Occuring During the 98-99 Season
     
            Due to scheduled renovations of the UHH theater, a number of the season's performances will need to be held at
            other fine locations around the community. Be sure to check the "1998-99 Season" link below to verify where a
            specific concert is being held. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but know you will still value the
            high quality of the performances we have been able to arrange for your listening pleasure and musical inspiration.
