In celebration of the 2024 Summer Reading Challenge!

Maui’s own Jeff Peterson presents a program of soothing guitar music! His tunes celebrate Polynesian navigation by stars, the Haleakalā mountain sky where he grew up, stories of his grandfather lecturing at the Bishop Museum Planetarium, and original music including “Hawaiian Skies” from “The Descendants” film soundtrack. This program is suitable for all ages.

Recognized as one of Hawai‘i’s most versatile musicians, Jeff is at the heart of the Hawaiian music scene today. His passion for the guitar has allowed him to shine as a solo artist and has given him the opportunity to collaborate with a wide variety of artists from Hawai‘i and across the world.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i. This is a production of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Outreach College’s Statewide Cultural Extension Program with additional funding provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, and the University of Hawai‘i.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. All programs are subject to change.
