OUR KAKA‘AKO PRESENTS HAWAI‘I SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AT SALT

SALT at Our Kaka‘ako hosts a special Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra Pop-Up Concert, at The Barn, on Thursday, Dec. 16, at 6 p.m. The symphony’s return to the Arts District of Our Kaka‘ako for the free holiday concert proved popular. Seats were promptly filled after limited reservations were made available on a first come, first served basis to SALT at Our Kaka‘ako and Our Kaka‘ako communities, underscoring the demand for live performance.

“SALT at Our Kaka‘ako is where the arts and our community come together. We are honored to have the Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra sharing uplifting music during the holiday season, and we look forward to concert attendees making it a night on the town, also enjoying dinner and shopping at SALT,” said Dixie Diga, General Manager of SALT at Our Kakaʻako.

All current COVID-19 related restrictions will be followed at the open-air venue, including proof of vaccination. Attendees are asked to wear a mask at all times at the event.

“Our Kaka‘ako has always embraced music and arts. We are happy to present the Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra to entertain and inspire our community,” said Gary Evora, Commercial Real Estate Senior Asset Manager at Kamehameha Schools. “Their dedication to music and education enriches and pays homage to our local culture.” The Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra presents the highest-quality performances of great music to delight and educate audiences of all ages and backgrounds, and enhances the cultural vitality and quality of life in these islands.

“It has been a challenging year. We went 439 nights without a live audience. But now we are taking the orchestra out of the traditional concert hall and rebuilding our community through music and art,” said Dave Moss, Executive Director of the Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra. “We were attracted to Our Kaka‘ako’s vibrancy — its stores, the restaurants and community. We are happy to perform in a place known for arts and culture.”

SALT at Our Kaka‘ako offers a wide variety of dining options for concert goers to enjoy before and after the concert. Guests are invited to explore SALT’s more than 40 shops, restaurants and service providers, many locally owned. Satisfy cravings with everything from Hawaiian, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino and Japanese cuisine, as well as brews.
