Waimea Community Chorus is seeking new members to join their 26th season.
Kamuela (HI)- Waimea Community Chorus (WCC) is about to embark on their 26th season starting September 4, 2018 and is inviting interested community members to join the 60-voice Waimea Community Chorus of Kahilu Theatre, under the direction of Barbara Kopra who says, “We are always looking for new members and this is a great way to see what we’re all about, people get to try us out and see if they like it!”
This year WCC will be performing a brand new work composed by pianist Mark Hayes, “Internation Carol Suites I-V”, which debuted at Carnegie Hall in November 2017. In addition to the Suites, there will also be a lively sing-a-long portion of the concert higlighting community favories of the season. The chorus practices every Tuesday and as they begins the process of learning the music, new members are invited to check out the first two rehearsals in the Mike Luce Studio at the Kahilu Theatre Tuesday, September 4th and 11th starting at 6:45 pm. For those who choose to join, membership is $55 for the season, which helps to support the program and covers the cost of music.
Requirements: No Audition necessary, just the love of singing and commitment to attending rehearsals consistently. Reading music is a plus but is by no means necessary.
Rehearsals: The chorus practices every Tuesday in the Mike Luce Studio at the Kahilu Theatre,
6:45 - 9 PM - extra sectional rehearsals will be offered on the weekends.
Performances: December 8 at 7 PM and December 9 at 4 PM at Kahilu Theatre.
Kopra, who has been the Director of the Community Chorus since 2005, is tremendously excited for this performance, “Every year we try to do something just a little bit different, which I think keeps things more interesting, but we need to get some new voices into the mix!”
If you are interested in joining WCC come by the Mike Luce Studio on Tuesday, September 4th and 11th at 6:45 pm. For more information please contact Barbara Kopra at bkopra@hpa.edu, or call the Kahilu Theatre Box Office at (808) 885-6868.

Kahilu Theatre presents the effervescent ensemble, Zodiac Trio
Kamuela (HI)- Kahilu Theatre invites classical music lovers to a performance by the Zodiac Trio on Sunday, September 30, beginning at 4 pm. The group is one of the most recognized ensembles on the world chamber music scene today. They have earned distinctive honors for their work and created a non-traditional synergy by including a wind instrument in the genre. Tickets can be purchased at (808) 885-6868 or kahilutheatre.org.
Zodiac Trio is comprised of prize-winning musicians: Riko Higuma on piano, Vanessa Mollard on violin, and Kliment Krylovskiy on clarinet. The Trio was originally formed in 2006 at the Manhattan School of Music in New York. They became the first American group to enter the esteemed Ysaÿe Quartet Chamber Music program at the Paris Superior Conservatory. The Trio was featured in the London-based international MUSO magazine, being praised for “bringing a rare combination of instruments into the spotlight” with “traditional and new music.” During its early years as an apprentice of the Ysaÿe Quartet, the Trio garnered numerous awards in the U.S. and European competition circuit. The Zodiac Trio today commands a concert audience that spans three continents.
The internationally acclaimed Zodiac Trio is the founder of the Zodiac Music Academy & Festival. The Festival, begun in 2015, invites advanced students and pre-professionals for two weeks of intense training and ample performance opportunities on the famed Côte D’Azur in France.
The Zodiac Trio will perform in Waimea on Sunday, September 30, at 4 pm. Youth under the age of 18 are free with an accompanying adult.

Kahilu Theatre Presents Na Leo - 34 Years and Going Strong.
Kamuela (HI)- Kahilu Theatre presents Na Hoku Hanohano multi-award-winning musical group, Na Leo Pilimehana, Saturday, September 22 at 7 pm.
Na Leo Pilimehana, which in Hawaiian means "voices blending together in warmth," is the most popular, most award-winning and top-selling female Hawaiian group in the world. Na Leo consists of three childhood friends, Nalani Jenkins, Lehua Kalima and Angela Morales. These women run their own record label; compose, record and perform music; they do volunteer work, play sports, and they are moms. They are real women with real lives sticking close to their ideals and putting their friendship first. 2018 marks their 34th Anniversary as Na Leo.
All three women shared a love of music and had their first original hit as high school seniors in 1984 with their song, "Local Boys." The original song became the biggest selling single in Hawai’i history. Later that year, they put out their first hit album, also entitled "Local Boys." Their first gig was playing Sunday and Monday nights at Chuck’s Steak House in Pearlridge Shopping Center.
Discouraged with the ups and downs of the music scene, they decided to get on with college, jobs and marriage, and took a break for seven years. However, they missed singing together, writing songs, and the fun. In 1993, they released "Friends," another Hoku-Award winner and a huge hit.
Na Leo started their own record label then signed with Sony Music Japan in 1996. In total they have released 24 CDs, won 22 Hoku Awards, have been in the top 20 American Country charts nationally with “Poetry Man” and “The Rest of Your Life.” Na Leo continues to perform for sold-out crowds in Japan, Hawai’i, and across the United States.
In addition to Na Leo, these talented women have a variety of other personal interests and pursuits.
Angela is a featured performer in the Hawai’i shows at the Disney Aulani resort on Oahu. She and her youngest son, Kaimana, are often found on weekends at local canoe races or taking photos on the Waianae coast. Angela also has three older children, and a grandson Ka Mo’i.
Lehua is busy with family and hobbies, and is often doing a solo gig in town or playing with Shawn Pimental or one of her many friends. Lehua is known to step in at a show for a song or two when least expected, and may also be found surfing or paddling in Waikiki when she is not performing.
Nalani continues to manage Na Leo’s record label and concert tours, and operates several other businesses, including 721, LLC. She has also played soccer in the Women’s Island Soccer Association league for over 30 years.
Tickets for their Kahiu Theatre debut on September 22 are $68/$48/$28 and can be purchased at kahilutheatre.org, (808) 885-6868 or at the Kahilu Theatre Box Office located at 67-1186 Lindsey Road, Kamuela HI, 97643.

Kahilu Theatre has announced its 38th Season, Art Matters. The Season includes 52 performances, exhibits, musical theatre, classes, and camps. Made possible by Parker Ranch owner Richard Smart, a renowned Broadway performer, the Theatre first opened in 1981. Named in honor of Smart’s mother, Thelma Kahiluonapuaapi`ilani Parker, Kahilu today is known as the artistic heart of Waimea.
“I am delighted to be a part of another exciting year reflecting the community’s aloha for this special Theatre,” said Kahilu Theatre Board President Mimi Kerley. “Our organization has gone through profound change over the past five years, and I have great confidence we will continue to serve our community as a vibrant hale for the arts.”
“Many patrons, some of whom have been in our audience since opening night, have said that Richard Smart could not have imagined the scope and impact of his original dream for Kahilu, and how proud he would be of what his Theatre has become,” said Artistic Director Chuck Gessert. “Our goal is to offer something for everyone and to celebrate the creative spirit.”
