Saturday, March 21, 7:30 p.m., McCoy Studio Theater

Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award winners Kellen and Līhau Hannahs Paik embody the name they’ve chosen for their musical presence. Kūpaoa is “suffused with fragrance or heady with scent.” Their talents are many.They infuse musical ability and charm into two sweet, rich voices, creating a spicy, soothing and alluring blend. While the sound of the music entices the ear, the content of their selections will also engage the heart and mind. Tickets are $30.
