This event encourages and promotes the use of Hawaiian music,
language, and hula in our church celebrations.
These celebrations feature some newly-introduced compositions and arrangements
of Hawaiian Sacred Music. Thanks very much to the 'Aha Hïmeni Committee
and the Cathedral of our Lady of Peace staff & community, and all the participating choirs and their directors
and composers for their generosity of time, talent, and treasure. All in
all, this will be an incredible night to remember, where even the smallest of
choirs receives the largest of accolades! Spread the word.....the 'Aha Hïmeni
has to be one of the best highlights of Hawaiian Inculturation and choral
musicianship!
