Our Music & Mistletoe is Underway!

Oct27

And we’re off to the start of our 2026 Music & Mistletoe holiday singing program! We welcomed 7 guests with open arms and warm hearts to our rehearsals so far, some of whom have never sung in a group setting before. All of them are so talented, and we cannot wait to welcome them back! As we starting dusting off our holiday decorations and prepare to sing our holiday songs, we are once again reminded of what this timeof year is all about: music, love, friendship, and connection.

It’s not too late to join us for our free Music & Mistletoe singing program! See more details below.

Holiday joy

Na Leo Lani enjoyed a busy 2024 holiday season, with performances all around the island, from the windward to the leeward side and places in between. We had a blast entertaining audiences at the Hawai’i Kai Public Library and Pohai Nani, hamming it up with Sounds of Aloha and Honolulu Blend Show Chorus at the Palikū Theatre, and of course, performing at our own Christmas concert at Harris United Methodist Church.

Mahalo nui loa to our Sing with Us for the Holidays “SWUFTH” program participants — we loved singing with you and hope you stick around or come back for our next short-term session! — and many thanks to Harris United Methodist Church for allowing us to sing in your beautiful sanctuary. Thanks as well to Sounds of Aloha — your shows are always a hoot! — and most of all to our members whose heartfelt participation made our holiday season such a joy.

Hau’oli Makahiki Hou, and may 2025 bring peace to the world, one chord at a time.

What a whirlwind few weeks it’s been — more than a month has passed already of our Sing With Us for the Holidays (SWUFTH 😉) program! It’s been a joy getting to know our SWUFTH participants and blending with them in marvelous holiday harmony.

Enjoy some snapshots of Weeks 1-4 below, plus a snippet of an impromptu ensemble warming up the chorus with an old favorite.
