New voices, new friends

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.

Roses are red. . . and rosé is pink!

Everything came up roses at last week’s rehearsal as we celebrated National Red Rose Day on June 12. For chorus members who love our weekly themes, it was a perfect opportunity to dress in our favorite chintz prints. As it turns out, it was also National Rosé Day on June 8! Who knew??

Whether you’re a person who always stops and smells the roses, or a woman who loves sharing a glass of wine with friends, every occasion is more festive with song, and don’t we know it! Here’s to raising a glass and gifting a rose — and doing so in four part harmony!

A rose by any other name is 🎶

St. Patty’s Day spirit

Irish eyes were smiling this week as we sported many shades of green and welcomed a new tenor, Terry, to the chorus. Our tenor section is growing, and we couldn’t be happier! 🍀

Whether it’s 9 a.m. or 9 p.m., singing always puts us in a “Top o’the morning” mood

Gobble gobble

This week’s rehearsal featured a main dish of musical preparation with a side helping of turkey-themed fun. Thank you, ladies, for bringing your all to every rehearsal!

May your Thanksgiving be a time of togetherness with the people you love, and may your heart and lungs fill with enough joyous air to last you right through the last note of the holiday season.

Happy Thanksgiving from Na Leo Lani !

Having a holly jolly rehearsal

With Christmas just around the corner and our holiday concert coming up in three weeks, we are ramping up our rehearsals with a lot of holly jolly energy! Enjoy this video clip of an impromptu ensemble at this week’s practice.

Halloween hijinks

Witches and devils and starfish, oh my! At this week’s rehearsal, we sang with gusto and showed off our Halloween spirit at the same time.

We also marked the third week of our Sing With Us for the Holidays program. If you have a special place in your heart (and lungs) for Christmas carols and other festive winter music, come join us! See HERE for more info about SWUFTH 2023.

“H” is for Holiday Spirit!

We had a lot to cheer about at the first rehearsal of our 2022 Holiday Program on October 19 as we welcomed old and new friends Yoko, Lissi, Pamela, Laura, Liana, and Allison.
