Kona Historical Society is launching its new Hanohano ‘O Kona: Wahi Pana Lecture Series with Daniel Ho, a Grammy award-winning Hawaiian music virtuoso, who made waves with his Hawaiian version of “Nothing Compares to You,” featured in the 2008 film Forgetting Sarah Marshall.  

This lecture, Hawaiian Music and American Voices: A Performance and Discussion with Daniel Ho and Kealiʻi Ceballos, will take place at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 7. The kanikapila venue is the Kalukalu pasture below Kona Historical Society’s headquarters, where the Society’s Portuguese Stone Oven Bread Baking Program occurs.

Seating will be provided, but attendees may bring their own blanket and chair to sit on.

This lecture is being provided by Kona Historical Society in partnership with the Smithsonian Institute.
