In February 2020, American Wild Ensemble collaborated with composers Takuma Itoh, Tonia Ko, Michael-Thomas Foumai, and Byron Yasui to present a program of works inspired by Hawaiian wildlife and landscapes to promote a message of conservation and respect for nature at schools, national park sites, and in concert halls.
