Our SAVERS Fund Drive is coming up!

Feb18

Clean out your closet and help Na Leo Lani raise money at the same time for our upcoming competition in Reno, Nevada! Donate your new or used household goods and clothing to our MARCH 2024 Savers “FUNdraiser” and Savers will pay us by the pound for whatever we donate!

All our donations have to be delivered to Savers in one fell swoop on March 9th at 11:00 am, so please bring your donations to our Wednesday night rehearsals between now and March 6, or contact Anna at naleolanichorus [at] gmail.com to drop them off before hand.

If you are not a chorus member and but have items you would like to donate, please pass the goods along to your favorite Na Leo Lani member or contact Anna at naleolanichorus[at]gmail.com. You are welcome to drop off your donation items and sit in on our rehearsal after — prospective members are always welcome! Visit our “Join Us” page for our rehearsal location info and more.

Donations of clothing should be in large plastic bags, tied shut. Hard items such as dishes, knicknacks, small electric appliances (e.g., toasters, etc), and kitchenware should be boxed tied or taped shut. If you are donating larger items like small bookcases or dressers, please tie or tape the drawers and shelves so they won’t fall out.

Join us on December 5 for a holiday concert to benefit the Hawai`i Theatre

Featuring the Sounds of Aloha Chorus & special guest Na Leo Lani!

Mark your calendars for Sunday, December 5, 4:00 p.m. Hawaii time for “Songs of the Season,” a special concert to benefit the Hawai‘i Theatre Center. The pandemic has been hard on all live music venues, and the Hawaii Theatre is no exception. To help this cultural landmark weather the storm and, hopefully, to mark a turning point toward better days ahead, the Sounds of Aloha Chorus has organized a benefit concert featuring all your holiday favorites, sung by the mellifluous male voices of SOA, plus six quartets, small ensembles, and a special guest appearance by Na Leo Lani! As you can can see in the photo from our recording session, the ladies of NLL are overjoyed to be on the risers and singing together in-person again.

Please support the Hawai`i Theatre Center with your $20 per device donation (plus $2 processing charge) to watch the concert premier online on December 5 at 4:00 p.m. HST. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Hawai`i Theatre. Click here for the instructions and access to the online concert streaming link: https://hawaiitheatre.secure.force.com/ticket/#/events/a0S5c00000FZC5xEAH

UPDATE December 6: We hope you enjoyed the music! We hope to be able to share a video of the performance soon. Stay tuned.

An ensemble of Na Leo Lani singers gathered onstage at the Hawai’i Theatre on November 27 for the benefit concert recording.
