The annual Kamehamha Schools Kapālama Christmas Concert was staged once again at the Historic Hawaii Theater on December 5. Hundreds of high school performing arts students put their talents on display before audiences that packed the two shows. This year’s theme was “Ke Aloha O Ke Akua: The Love of God.”

The event was captured on video by ʻŌiwi TV staffers with the assistance of high school video production students. You can watch the concert online at the ʻŌiwi TV website.
