Cades Schutte’s history is deeply rooted in the arts, including strong connections formed by its founders such as Russell Cades, a violin and viola player in the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra and avid art collector. The firm is still proud to be a longtime supporter of the state’s leading arts and cultural institutions.
