Spam can harps, rice bag drums, tin can gongs, and other musical instruments made from repurposed rubbish are on display at Hamilton Library Bridge Gallery now through mid-August. All instruments were custom built by Benjamin Fairfield, author of the illustrated children's book Kani Ka 'Opala: How can garbage sing? Fairfield (lecturer at UH and Hawai'i Pacific University) was featured last October on the Conversation as a climate-action-artist-in-residence with the State Commission on Climate Change in 2025. Come view, play, and listen to an assortment of rubbish instruments. A great way to celebrate Earth Day and aloha 'aina.

Our Spring 2026 theme musically celebrates the vast and diverse qualities of the human condition. The repertoire is gorgeous…full of beautiful harmonies, melodic lines, and thoughtful lyrics. Choral styles range from modern to madrigal, jazz to spiritual.

We also have a few sacred songs, such as a brilliant version of “Ezekiel Saw De Wheel,” a breath-taking “Ave Maria,” and a wonderful arrangement of the folk song, “Down in the River to Pray.”

Concerts will be held in three venues: two in Hilo and one in Keaau/Hawaiian Paradise Park. All are under the baton of conductor Doug Albertson.
