What is the Hawaii Performing Arts Festival (HPAF)? It's a world-class summer music festival located in Waimea on the Big Island of Hawai‘i. Offering vocal and string programs to participants from around the globe, from Honoka‘a to Honolulu, from San Francisco to Seoul, from New York to L.A, HPAF is much more than a music camp.

For three weeks in July, HPAF brings excitement and cultural vitality to the community, performing over 20 classical concerts in Waimea, Hilo, and Kona.

The HPAF String Program was created in 2011 by Hawaii Symphony Concertmaster Iggy Jang, whose tireless devotion to his students provides a caring, nurturing musical environment conducive to higher learning. Led by an outstanding faculty, participants benefit from a selection of intensive classes and performance opportunities, while being given time to enjoy the unparalleled  inspiring beauty of Hawai‘i.
