Pub Choir returns to the USA in 2026! Fresh from a viral audition for America’s Got Talent, Astrid is bringing her whacky singing experience back to America and she wants you to put your phones down, and your eyes up (but only after you read this promo).
Every Pub Choir show turns ordinary audiences into incredible, joyful music-makers… and you’ll barely feel a thing! The brainchild of Astrid, Australia’s second most loved icon (respect to Robert Irwin), Pub Choir is the world’s easiest, funniest, and most chaotic music lesson. Every voice is welcome at this rehearsal. You’ll help each other learn one song (that’s right, just one), in three part harmony and you will feel better for it.

What do you have to prepare? Nothing. It’s not that kind of night. Grab a ticket, make a friend, unleash your voice, and keep your eyes up! This is an analogue night of creating and feeling, with just the right amount of Aussie teasing. You have to be in the room when it happens.

This show is 18+ Please be aware that this event will be filmed & photographed. By purchasing a ticket and attending this event, you are giving your consent to be filmed & photographed during this event.

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.

Animals, both real and imagined, are integral to Asia Pacific origin stories, religious stories, myths, epics, folktales, and village scenes, often bearing symbolic significance such as good luck, prosperity, protection, and abundance. FAUNA features artwork from the East-West Center Collection that highlights animals of the land, sky, and waterways. These works represent cultures of Australia, Bangladesh, Canada (First Nations), China, Guam, Hawaiʻi, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Palau, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga, Torres Strait Islands, the United States, and Vietnam. Art mediums featured include calligraphy, ceramics, paintings, puppets, sculpture, textiles, and woodcarving. This imagery reminds us of the interdependence and interconnectedness among animals, people, and the environment.

The 65-member Community Choir, Voices of Aloha, will present their Spring concert on
Memorial Day, May 25, at 4 PM, at the Kawaiaha’o Church, 957 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu.
The theme of the concert is “Peace”. Through choral music spanning four centuries, we will
share songs that express the universal human longing to live in a peace-filled world. We will
offer a special observance of Memorial Day by focusing on songs from our country’s Civil War,
and seek to honor those who have served our country in uniform. The concert serves as a
send off for the choir as they are preparing to travel in June to Normandy and Paris, France to
take part in their annual D-Day observances.
There is no charge for this concert, and the public is encouraged to attend. A free-will offering will be gratefully received.

Celebrate Memorial Day Weekend with an unforgettable evening at The Magical Mystery Show! in Waikīkī featuring world-renowned magician and 2022 FISM World Champion.
Hidden inside a Hawaiian Victorian-style theater, this intimate experience combines world-class sleight of hand, comedy, storytelling, and audience interaction just inches away from the performers. Guests will also enjoy a unique pre-show museum experience before entering the theater.
