Performance among the Poinsettias

Na Leo Lani had a great time rolling out our holiday show for the public at Kahala Mall on December 8. We were joined on three songs by our Sing With Us for the Holidays guest. Afterwards, a large contingent headed over to The Counter for burgers and fries for our chorus fundraiser. Thank you, ladies, for all you do for Na Leo Lani, and thank you to our supportive audience at the mall.

See below for pics & a clip from our performance

Thursday, December 8 – fundraiser at The Counter and performance at Kahala Mall!

If shopping and dining out are music to your ears, you can experience both in four-part harmony today, Thursday, December 8, when Na Leo Lani performs at Kahala Mall!

Join us at Kahala Mall center court at 6 pm for our performance, then head over to The Counter afterwards for burgers & delicious sweet potato fries!

Na Leo Lani’s fundraiser at The Counter is happening all day on December 8, so you can also eat lunch there, order by phone, or put in an in-person take out order. (Online orders are not valid for the fundraiser.)

Krazy Kwartets for Halloween

At our October 26 rehearsal, we celebrated Halloween a few days early with a Krazy Kwartet night filled with musical hijinks and silly costumes. See highlights from the comic lineup below.

Four basses sing “All I Have to Do (Is Be a Queen)!”

“H” is for Holiday Spirit!

We had a lot to cheer about at the first rehearsal of our 2022 Holiday Program on October 19 as we welcomed old and new friends Yoko, Lissi, Pamela, Laura, Liana, and Allison.

What joy to welcome back Yoko, Pamela, Laura , Liana, and to meet fabulous bass Allison!

Guest Night fun in the spirit of Oktoberfest

At our September 29 rehearsal, Na Leo Lani was joined by three wonderful guests and celebrated autumn with an antic Oktoberfest-themed Guest Night — complete with team interpretations of Beer Barrel Polka, Hawai’i-style takes on Bavarian costume, and natürlich! a rousing Chicken Dance to top off the evening.

See the fun in the photos below.

Putting the “fest” in Oktoberfest.

Happy Birthday to our three September birthday gals!

A joyful return with Friends and Family

On September 18, Na Leo Lani joyfully presented its first Friends and Family concert in nearly three years. We had a wonderful turnout of enthusiastic supporters, including former NLL director Lars Isaacson and many singers from Sounds of Aloha and Honolulu Blend Show Chorus, as well as many warm and encouraging partners, spouses, parents, and extended ‘ohana.

Thank you to all who attended and joined in the fun! And thank you for your generous financial support of Na Leo Lani through your donations to our calabash bowl!
