The Kauai Chorale invites the public to a “spectacular concert event featuring traditional British carols and favorite holiday anthems.”
It will feature works ranging from “simple and engaging a capella carols to audacious, knock-your-socks-off favorites, all written by British composers from the 16th to the 21st centuries and by one beloved honorary British subject, George F. Handel,” according to the Chorale’s website.

S. Morris Wise has been living on Kauai since 2009 and has been Kauai Chorale’s artistic director since 2018.
“Our performances on December 14 and 15 will be beautiful and mystical,” Wise said, “Music created to give voice to poetry.”
The chorale is looking for singers who know how to sing Hawaiian songs for a spring performance in New York. Rehearsals begin Jan. 6 at Island School.
“We do not hold any audition and would love to have serious singers join us, “ Wise said.
