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.
It’s Autumn, and you know what that means — time to dust off your favorite holiday tunes and sing with Na Leo Lani in four-part barbershop harmony!
If you love choral singing and are looking for an opportunity to lift your spirits every week with a great group of women, we invite you to exercise your talent and build your vocal chops in our fun and festive Music and Mistletoe holiday program October 29 through December 23, 2025.
Open to all women and woman-identified singers age 16 and over, Music and Mistletoe is just $35 for eight weeks of weekly rehearsals, sheet music, and learning tracks for five holiday songs, topped off by our holiday concert and other festive singing gigs around the island.
Contact naleolanichorus@gmail.com for more information, or simply come to our rehearsals and check out Music and Mistletoe for yourself!

Sing with you soon!
What an extraordinary day we had this past Saturday, August 23 celebrating Na Leo Lani’s Golden Anniversary. Fifty years — WOW!!!!!
Thank you to all who attended, and mahalo nui loa to Harris United Methodist Church for hosting us! A million thanks as well to the dozens of volunteers whose hard work helped us pull off this once-in-a-lifetime event. We could not have done it without you.
More thank yous to the individuals who so generously gave of their time will follow soon, along with photos from the event.
For now, here’s one from our rehearsal prior to the show. Golden indeed!
We had a small but feisty rehearsal this week as a number of our members were out sick, including our Director, Chris.
Those who felt up to it came on Wednesday masked and practiced social distancing as we continued preparing for our upcoming 50th anniversary celebration on August 23.
Have you purchased your tickets for the luncheon and concert yet? If not, we now have an online credit card payment option (thank you, Terri, for setting that up!)
You can find more info about the 50th Anniversary Celebration, plus the links to our online payment form and to a pay-by-check option HERE.
Sending lots of get-well-energy, throat lozenges, and love to our members who are recovering this week.
Late July is the time to strut our laid-back summer attitude, and no one does that better than Na Leo Lani. We rocked our summertime spirit this week and welcomed Noel and Pam. So lovely to sing with you again. 🤩
Less than a month to go before our 50th Anniversary celebration! Have you bought your tickets yet? If not, click here for info.
Na Leo Lani members never cease to amaze. What’s our secret to gorgeous and graceful aging? Barbershop harmony, of course!! Whether we are soaring on the high notes or maintaining a strong foundation on those oh-so-low bass notes, Na Leo Lani’s commitment to a cappella music keeps us young, healthy and fit!
See our May, June, and July birthday girls —JoAnne, Charley, Arlette, Jojo, and Wally — who comprise just a few of our NLL wonder women!
If you are interested in seeing what Na Leo Lani is all about, come to one of our fun and lively rehearsals — weekly on Wednesdays from 6 to 9 p.m. Find out more here.

Summer is bella with a cappella!
The women of Na Leo Lani thrive well into our late years. Have a look at the photos below and you’ll see: our amazing Ruth turned 93 earlier this year, Vera turned 91 in April, Anna celebrated another excellent year of her 70s, and that’s just a few of our senior members!
What’s our secret? It’s simple: singing is like meditation, but way more fun. We practice breath support, we listen closely to each other, learn new music and master complex harmonies every week, and most of all, we enjoy our sisterhood of song at rehearsal every week — plus we perform for the public whenever we get a chance.
Hail to our March, April, and May birthday gals! (See pics below.) And keep those cycles ‘round the sun coming — singing with you is such a joy.
