Leader Bio:
From a very humble beginning, a young Hawaiian rose to become a linguist, a composer, a kahu and one of Hawaiʻi’s foremost conductors.
Aaron David Mahi was born on July 9, 1953, and from early on gravitated to music. At age 14, Aaron was selected as one of only 37 students to receive a Honolulu Symphony Orchestra mentored scholarship. He graduated from Kamehameha Schools in 1971, and from Connecticut’s Hartt School of Music in 1975. He also studied at the Herbert Bloomsted Institute of Conducting in California.
By 1976 Aaron was headlining concert billings with the new Windward Symphony Orchestra and as a jazz and rock bass guitarist. But he also focused on cultural perspectives in music sparked by the Hawaiian Renaissance of the time. As a member of Hui Aloha ʻAina Tuahine, UH Mānoa’s Hawaiian club he appeared on the Nani Award winning album Ka Leo Hawaiʻi released in 1977. At that time he joined the group Kaimana – Haunani Apoliona, Haunani Bernadino, and Eldon Akamine – on their second album Nalani – Nālani Olds with Kaimana (Pumehana Records). In 1978 Aaron was commissioned to create string arrangements for Kanaka – Captain Cook, A Bicentennial Tribute 1778 – 1978 (Pumehana Records) a recording commemorating the bicentennial arrival of Captain Cook.
By 1979 Aaron joined the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra as a bassist and began a stint conducting. Newly elected Honolulu mayor Aileen Anderson appointed Aaron bandmaster of the Royal Hawaiian Band in 1981, the first native Hawaiian bandmaster since Charles E King in 1933. His tenure would continue for the next 24 years.
Under Aaron’s direction highlights of the Band included a seven-nation European tour in 1983. The Royal Hawaiian Band was presented a shellenbaum, a band instrument, and a replica of one presented to King Kalākaua in 1881. Aaron was awarded the Golden Ring of Honor by the Association of German Musicians. Another milestone was a Carnegie Hall concert in 1988. The Friends of the Royal Hawaiian Band released The Royal Hawaiian Band Live at Carnegie Hall to commemorate the concert Part I (FRB 002) and Part II (FRB 003).
Over the years Aaron has participated in more than 20 recording projects performing and contributing liner notes. He continues to chart new musical arrangements for the Royal Hawaiian Band and for the Kamehameha Schools annual song contests. Aaron was awarded the German Order of Merit in 2003 and given the title, “Bundesverdienstkreuz.”
His service to the community includes his work as a kahu. Aaron has served as the kahu of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs and currently serves as head kahu of the Makiki Community of Christ Church. From 2009 to present, Kahu Aaron Mahi is a part of the Hui Nohona culture team for Partners in Development Foundation.
One definition of mahi is to cultivate; Aaron Mahi has cultivated much in the music annals of Hawaiʻi. For his outstanding work as a maestro, for his contributions to Hawaiʻi’s recording arts industry and for his unwavering dedication in community service, the Hawaiʻi Academy of Recording Arts presents its Highest Award, the Lifetime Achievement Award to Maestro and Kahu Aaron David Mahi.

Abide in my heart
Come, Lord Jesus, and abide in my heart. How grateful I am to realize that the answer to my prayer does not depend on me at all. As I quietly abide in You and let Your life flow into me, what freedom it is to know that the Father does not see my threadbare patience or insufficient trust, rather only Your patience, Lord, and Your confidence that the Father has everything in hand. In Your faith I thank You right now for a more glorious answer to my prayer than I can imagine. Amen.
