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!
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!

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.

We all know the holiday season can be hard work, but there’s no reason it can’t be fun at the same time! As these snapshots and video clip from our recent rehearsal show, the women of Na Leo Lani are serious about music, but we always make time for laughter as well.

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.
This week is National Farmers Day, so we dedicated our rehearsal to farmers, whose hard work enables us to eat, live, and, of course, sing!
It was also the first week of our Sing With Us for the Holidays (SWUFTH!) program. Three wonderful singers joined us for the fun. See HERE for details if you love singing and want to find out more about our holiday chorus program.

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.

Thank you, ladies, for all you do for Na Leo Lani, and thank you to our supportive audience at the mall.
