LIHU‘E — Possibly for the primary time ever, the Kaua‘i Chorale is providing concert events free to the general public.
The concert events of Hawaiian music with visitor hula dancers are Friday, May 13 at 6 p.m. at Kukui Grove Center, and Saturday, May 14 at 5 p.m. at Waimea Plantation Cottages. The Waimea live performance is outside, and attendees are suggested to convey their very own chairs.
The pandemic modified a whole lot of issues, from the neighborhood singing group’s observe venue to its numbers of choristers and even the return to in-person rehearsals.
In the spring of 2020, the chorale, underneath the baton of S. Morris Wise, creative director, was making ready for a return journey to New York City, to carry out an ensemble of Hawaiian music with different teams from across the nation, training within the Island School fundamental corridor in Puhi.
The chorale, then underneath the path of Lois Ricciardi, carried out “Carmina Burana” with choral teams from across the nation at Lincoln Center to a sold-out viewers earlier.
Na Leo O Hawai‘i is the title of this weekend’s concert events, subtitled ‘Olelo Hawai‘i Choral Music.
While there are not any admission charges, donations will probably be accepted.
Since 1963 the Kaua‘i Chorale has been presenting choral music concerts on the Garden Island. Kaua‘i Chorale is a not-for-profit organization funded in part by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative, as well as members’ dues, ticket gross sales and contributions.
