Multiple outlets report that the Hawai’i Symphony Orchestra will perform a free outdoor concert in Lahaina’s Kā’anapali on September 19, marking the orchestra’s first full return to Maui in a decade. The event is framed as a symbol of Lahaina’s ongoing recovery from the August 2023 wildfire that killed 101 people.

- The concert will stream live statewide on Hawaii News Now
- The HSO is in its 15th anniversary season and was recently designated the Official State Orchestra of Hawai’i
- Maui Mayor Richard Bissen endorsed the event, noting it is open to both residents and visitors
