WHO/WHAT: “Island Breeze,” an all-star trio blending
Hawaiian and Japanese instruments in a creatively inspiring and exciting style, will perform in concert for one night only.

In 2012, the three artists collaborated for a concert at the University of Hawai‘i. This collaboration eventually resulted in a CD recording in 2014 and a Na Hoku Hanohano nomination in 2015 for Best Instrumental Album of the Year and Best Instrumental Song of the Year.
WHEN/WHERE: Saturday, Aug. 19, at 7 p.m. at Shingon Shu Hawaii Temple, 915 Sheridan St. Limited parking in the temple grounds — street parking also available.
