In 2,000 characters or less, describe the project. <br />The South Hawari Symphony Orchestra will build capacity to present regular orchestral concerts in Ka'u. Residents in <br />this area include seniors, youth, at -risk youth, and ethnically and financially diverse populations who have limited <br />access to live orchestral music. This project will provide musicians in Ka'u, of all ability levels, with a venue for <br />supported rehearsals and free public performances in their own community. The orchestra will offer structured <br />rehearsals and a series of local concerts tailored to community interests and events. Musicians will also have the <br />opportunity to rehearse and perform alongside guest musicians who will tutor, model, co -perform, and encourage local <br />players. These guest musicians will also help fill gaps in the orchestra roster, ensuring full instrumentation and higher - <br />quality performances. By strengthening both musicianship and ensemble consistency, the project will increase access <br />to live orchestral music in 1&0 while building a more sustainable, community -based orchestra that serves local <br />audiences. <br />*43. 501(c)(3) Mission Statement <br />The South Hawari Symphony Orchestra is a community orchestra that seeks to share the joy of music -making with its <br />members and its audience. <br />*44.
