E Mele Kākou
Elementary Choral Festival
E Mele Kākou, the Elementary Choral Festival, is cosponsored by Hawai‘i ACDA and the Hawai‘i Youth Opera Chorus. This festival aims to provide elementary-aged students with an enriching choral experience. Each participating school and community choir will engage in activities focused on basic musical concepts, vocal techniques, and hula. The festival offers an opportunity for young singers to share their music with all attendees. This collaborative event creates a comprehensive and memorable musical experience for our youngest choral singers.
