Sunday December 7, 10am-1pm & 3:30-6:30pm (choose below)
Join local string ensemble The Galliards and Pālehua Conservation Initiative at Ossipoff Cabin for a 30-minute performance inspired by the natural beauty and rich spirit of Pālehua. This thoughtfully curated set of instrumental string music, performed by The Galliards, evokes the essence of an ahupuaʻa—flowing from mauka to makai—with melodies that reflect the ocean, valley, native flora and fauna.
Woven into this sonic landscape will be timeless holiday classics and nostalgic midcentury touches, join The Galliards in paying tribute to the legacy of architect Vladimir Ossipoff, whose 1950s cabin still stands as a testament to harmony with nature. Hosted high on the southern ridge of the Waiʻanae mountains in an inspiring space oriented to the environment, this collaboration hopes to bring each guest a sense of clarity and wonder.
The 3-hour experience includes an hour of guided travel up and down the mountain, a 30-minute performance, and time to mingle with the musicians and enjoy the mountain setting. Light bites and wine will be provided.

The Galliards are an ensemble composed of some of Hawaiʻi’s most prolific professional string musicians. Founded in 1982 by members of the Honolulu Symphony, they are known throughout the islands for their passion and dedication to the master composers of classical instrumental music. In addition to their continued work in the traditional string quartet repertoire, The Galliards have embarked on exciting projects with other renowned artists, composers, and iconic venues. (The Galliards are one of the three resident ensembles of Chamber Music Hawaiʻi, a nonprofit whose mission is to enrich Hawaii’s cultural life and promote appreciation and understanding of chamber music.)
Ossipoff Cabin was built in the mid 1950s and restored in 2020 The cabinʻs Japanese-inspired style, careful use of local materials, and breathtaking view make for an inspiring setting for workshops.
