What better way to feel the love in these difficult times than a Valentine’s Day-themed rehearsal celebrating the human capacity for harmony? Share the fun of our impromptu exchange quartets in the video clip below.
Happy Valentine’s Day — may love grow and harmony flourish in this country and around the world!
Continuing a tradition we began during the pandemic to keep things lively and ourselves amused in our online Zoom rehearsals, Na Leo Lani marks every rehearsal with a different theme. Not everyone participates every time, but that’s okay, because there’s a theme week for everyone — like “National Big Wig Day” on January 30!
If you are looking for a lighthearted community of women who are serious about singing, join us for a rehearsal! We meet weekly on Wednesday evenings at the Mo’ili’ili Hongwanji. Find out more on our Join Us page.
We were so sad to say goodbye in January to our fantastic baritone, Kaori, who is moving back to Japan. Thank you for sharing your voice with us and all best wishes on your next adventures!
Congratulations to our November, December, and January birthdays gals on another full circle around the sun. May you have many more years ahead!
We had a busy holiday line-up this past month and loved every minute. Thanks to all who joined us in song and in the audience! See below for some lovely photos of our Kahala Mall performance on December 20, 2025 — and many thanks to James Miura for taking them.
Na Leo Lani has been busy singing all around Honolulu this season, with crowd-pleasing gigs at local venues like this one (see pic) at the Hawai’i Kai Public Library. Upcoming events include free performances at the Kaimuki Public Library and Kahala Mall. See our Calendar of Events page for details, or visit this page for announcements!
According to this recent article in The Conversation, the health benefits of collective singing go well beyond mere entertainment; it can help reinforce balance and even mitigate the effects of Parkinson’s! What’s more, the social benefits extend to enhanced sense of community engagement, generosity, and joy. The author writes, “Group singing provides a mood boost and improves overall well-being. Increased levels of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin during singing may promote feelings of social connection and bonding.”
Who couldn’t use a mood boost in these difficult times? Come join a rehearsal and feel the energy for yourself.
Na Leo Lani brought our best Magic Kingdom energy to rehearsal last week with a big helping of rainbows, and we marked Pam’s September birthday with a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday — and MANY MORE! The belated honor made it all the more special. 😉
If you love the magic of song with women who know how to make every rehearsal a good-time opportunity, come join us on Wednesday evenings for barbershop harmony, laughter, and fun!
The ladies of Na Leo Lani never let a holiday go by without marking it in a special way, and this year’s Veterans’ Day was no different! Rocking our best stars and stripes attire, we sang in remembrance of those who have fought and died defending the values of equality, humanity, and justice under law, and we sang in celebration of the millions of hardworking individuals from all corners of the planet who serve the U.S. with honor, both in military uniform and as essential workers who make our economy hum. As women of all races, ethnicities, and faiths, we know well that harmony begins with listening — and we honor that outlook every week with song.
Middle C, high C, low C — whatever your vocal flavor, we’ve got it covered in our a cappella barbershop harmonies!
This week’s rehearsal theme was COOKIES 🍪🍪🍪 — and as you can “C”, we had a great time singing sweetly together.
