Flights and Sounds of Summer: HAPA September 19, 2009

Great Park Comedy Corner, 7pm
Aristotle Arthiras
David Marley

Saturday Night Concert, 8pm
HAPA
Last summer’s HAPA concert at the Great Park was among our favorites; this year Barry Flanagan and Nathan Aweau are joined by traditional chant master Charles Ka’upu for an evening of Hawaiian bliss. Known as “the sound of Maui,” HAPA filters the pan-Polynesian traditions of Hawaii through the lens of contemporary acoustic music to create a sound that has kept them in demand on the festival circuit while earning them a record-breaking number of Na Hoku Hanohano (“Hawaiian Grammy”) Awards.

Refreshments will be available at the Hangar Café, which opens at 6 PM on performance nights. The Hangar Café features a vegetarian menu of fresh salads and sandwiches, delicious snacks and desserts, and thirst-quenching beer, wine, and soft drinks presented by award-winning Avanti Café. Admission is free. Parking is $8.00. Orange County Great Park, Irvine, CA 92618. Off the 5 Freeway at Sand Canyon Road. Information: 949-724-7420 or www.ocgp.org.
