The American ensemble Lyracle brings us the story of four Japanese boys of noble birth who set sail from Nagasaki to Lisbon. They were students at the Jesuit school in Kyūshū and were sent on a tour of Italy and Iberia as ambassadors of three Japanese daimyō who had converted to Christianity. Music was a key component in their mission, and the American Ensemble Lyracle has assembled a selection of music for voice and viols that they would have brought back to the Jesuit mission in Japan. Follow this fascinating story as they share with us that music and narrative for their first performances in Hawai‘i.

The Premier Tribute to the Music of The Eagles
What do people want when they go see a live band? The members of SF Bay Area based tribute band ILLEAGLES believe that everyone in the crowd wants to be engaged and captivated from the first note until the show is done. Over the past year and a half of sold out performances, that is exactly what every crowd has gotten.
ILLEAGLES was founded in late 2016 when 6 friends came together who all had 2 things in common: 1) they loved the music of the Eagles, and 2) each member was an amazing musician in their own right. This common vision led to hours and hours of studying, rehearsing, and mastering each of the Eagles classic hits.
From rockers Life in the Fast Lane and Heartache Tonight, to swooning ballads Desperado and Best of My Love, ILLEAGLES not only reproduce the soaring guitars, multi-part harmonies and tightness of the original band, but also add their own brand of swagger and energy that keeps fans coming back over and over. It’s commonplace for a majority of the audience to start singing along on the first song, and continuing to sing until the show is over (or they lose their voices).

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.
