The Pacific Rim Children’s Chorus Festival July 14-22, 2009
A mass choir of 300 voices rehearsed with the Festival Artistic Director, Henry H. Leck in preparation for two public concerts. The literature is selected from outstanding choral music of Asia, Polynesia and other Pacific Rim countries. The Hawaiian choral literature will be presented by Host Choir Director Nola A. Nahulu.
