Celebrating Our PMI ʻOhana

Behind every student performance, every financial-aid awarded, and every transformative summer at Pacific Music Institute stands a community of dedicated supporters who believe in the power of music education. For over 36 years, donors, sponsors, volunteers, and advocates have made it possible for young musicians across Hawaiʻi to pursue their passion and develop their talents.

A Legacy of Support

Our supporters have championed Pacific Music Institute for over three decades. In just the past seven years, 80+ supporters have continued this legacy of generosity, contributing over $450,000 to help:

  • Enable financial-aid for kamaʻāina students including those on neighbor islands and in Title I schools
  • Bring world-class faculty to teach and inspire Hawaiʻi’s young musicians
  • Expand programs in orchestra, jazz, winds, brass, percussion, and ʻukulele
  • Provide access to premier facilities such as ʻIolani School
  • Keep music a vibrant and accessible part of our island communities

Our Supporters Make the Difference

Whether through financial gifts, volunteer time, in-kind donations, or enthusiastic attendance at student concerts, our supporters create opportunities that change lives. You’ve helped ensure that talent and passion, not financial circumstances, determine who can participate in Hawaiʻi’s premier summer music camp.

The universal joy of music connects us all, and our supporters make sure there is a place for everyone at PMI.

Mahalo nui loa for being the heart of Pacific Music Institute and for investing in the future of music education in Hawaiʻi.
