2025 Nā Leo Hou
High School Choral Festival
The mission of Nā Leo Hou, the High School Choral Festival, is to provide local high school singers with a high-quality choral experience with a renowned clinician, create a venue for individual school choir and mass ensemble performances, and foster collaboration, socialization, and cooperation between singers. Over the course of the festival, participants engage in rehearsals and communal activities. The festival concludes with a free public concert, providing a memorable choral experience for all involved.
