The longtime Pops conductor of the Honolulu and Hawaii Symphonies, Matt Catingub, leads the Long Beach Symphony in Portrait of Paradise, starring the duo HAPA. Barry Flanagan and Ron Kuala'au, dubbed "the Simon and Garfunkel of Hawaii," are one of the most successful recording groups ever to come out of the Aloha State. Rooted in the traditional chants and slack-key guitar of the Hawaiian islands, their style evokes the cultural blend of Portuguese and Spanish ballads, the choral harmonies of the early missionaries and a touch of American acoustic folk-rock as well. The pair's self-titled debut CD came out in 1993, and soon became the top-selling Hawaiian music album ever recorded by a duo or group. They've continued performing and recording ever since, winning critical acclaim and selling out shows from Tokyo to New York and beyond.
