2025 Gala: A Sparkling Soirée

  • The Kahala Hotel & Resort 5000 Kahala Avenue Honolulu, HI, 96816 United States (map)

Join us for an evening of music, celebration, and philanthropy at the Hawaiʻi Chamber Music Festival Gala 2025. Held at the stunning Kahala Hotel & Resort, this year’s gala commemorates the fifth anniversary of HCMF’s Young Artist Program, the premier tuition-free chamber music institute on the islands.

The gala begins with a cocktail hour, followed by a sparkling toast and plated dinner. The evening’s highlights include performances by the Zippy’s Young Artist Orchestra conducted by award-winning pops conductor Matt Catingub, where he will showcase the dedicated talents of YAP’s young musicians through his signature arrangements that blend jazz, pop, and Pacific Island influences.

Your support is a vital contribution to the future of classical music in Hawaiʻi, and ensures that the Young Artist Program remains a beacon of opportunity for Hawaiʻi’s brightest young musicians. By sponsoring a table or ticket pair you engage in HCMF’s mission to welcome the world’s greatest musicians, support Hawaiʻi’s next generation of artists, and inspire our community.
