Aloha pumehana,
I’m John Kalani Zak, host of Classical Pacific on HPR 2.
In Hawaii one often hears the word “kuleana.” It’s a multi-layered word that means “privilege” or “responsibility.” When one is part of a community or a family, those elements are very meaningful and important. It’s our kuleana at Hawaii Public Radio to do everything in our power to bring you the finest of the world’s music, news, and information, and we take our task very seriously. But, kuleana is reciprocal. If you gain value from the programming you receive on Hawaii Public Radio, respectfully, wouldn't it be your kuleana to nurture it, so it can blossom and grow for our entire community across Hawaii nei?
HPR 2 is the only broadcast source for classical music in Hawaii. Isn’t it worth a pledge of five or ten dollars a month, or perhaps more, to nurture it? We hope you will agree that the answer is “Yes.” Call 944-8800 to make a pledge, or pledge online on this website, hawaiipublicradio.org. Mahalo, and keep listening.
