Matt Catingub: From Samoa to Sinatra

Volunteers may be responsible for ticket scanning, brochures, greeting guests, and assisting with our marketing table. Volunteers will be allowed to attend the concert free without charge, and they will receive complimentary parking.

From the islands of Samoa to the stages of Carnegie Hall, celebrate the extraordinary journey of Matt Catingub in a landmark evening 50 years in the making.

The son of Mavis Rivers, “Polynesia’s First Lady of Song,” and a proud Pacific Islander honored with the Samoan chiefly title of La’auli, Matt Catingub has spent a lifetime connecting cultures through music. A celebrated saxophonist, pianist, vocalist, award-winning composer, and former HSO Pops Conductor, he returns to the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra for a heartfelt celebration of his roots, his influences, and the legendary sounds that shaped his career.
