SUMMARY:A Celebration of AAPI Heritage Month featuring DeShannon Higa: A Pono Project Event
DESCRIPTION:A Celebration of AAPI Heritage Month featuring DeShannon Higa\nA Pono Project Event\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Saturday\, May 16\, 2026Starts at 7:30pmRun time: 90 minutes with no intermission\n			\n				BUY TICKETS\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Show\nPresented by ProArts Playhouse and Jazz Maui\nFeaturing Jeff Hellmer on piano\, Dave Graber on bass\, and Howie Rentzer on drums\nHeritage in MotionTraditionTransformed\nHeritage in Motion is a 90-minute musical journey that explores identity as something living—shaped by roots\, refined through experience\, and expressed in sound.\nThe show opens grounded in groove\, drawing the audience in with familiar rhythmic language and warmth. From there\, the music begins to stretch—blending jazz\, soul\, funk\, and subtle cultural textures that reflect the layered experience of Asian American and Pacific Islander identity. Rather than presenting tradition as something static\, each piece reimagines it—transformed through improvisation\, arrangement\, and collective voice.\nMidway through\, the energy gives way to space and reflection—a more intimate moment that highlights lyricism\, tone\, and emotional depth. Here\, the idea of “heritage” becomes personal\, not just cultural.\nThe final arc builds with increasing momentum—tight ensemble playing\, rhythmic drive\, and expressive solos—culminating in a powerful\, unified sound that feels both rooted and forward-moving.\nHeritage in Motion is not just a performance—it’s a statement:that culture is not preserved in place\, but carried forward\, reshaped\, and made alive through every note.\nSpecial low pricing made possible through the Pono Project.\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Artist\nDeShannon Higa is a renown jazz trumpet player both in Hawai‘i and New York City.
