"Two horns transform the sound of the string quartet.
Twin Horns features Anna Lenhart and Jamie Sanborn alongside the Galliard String Quartet for a program that explores the warmth, depth, and power of this unusual combination. From stormy drama and sunrise glow to Mozart’s intimate horn writing and Beethoven’s grand Sextet, this concert brings extra color, chemistry, and resonance to the chamber music stage."

Come on over and join the fun—play Hanafuda with your fellow community members! We’re excited to let you know that after a summer break, we’re back with this program. We have several Hanafuda decks available during the event, on a first-come, first-served basis, for anyone eager to play. It’s a great chance to meet new friends, challenge yourself, and just have a good time! If you’ve learned how to play Hanafuda from Helen Nakano and her Sensei, now’s your moment to practice those skills in a friendly game.
This will be a relaxed, self-directed play session—no formal instructions will be provided. However, we’ll have instruction sheets available for those interested in learning more about this wonderful game. Everyone, no matter your experience level, is welcome to join! Just a quick note: young children should be accompanied by an adult. For more info, feel free to contact us at (808) 733-8422 or ask at the Kaimukī Public Library Adult Reference Desk. We look forward to seeing you there!

By the ages of 7-12, hula students have developed a longer attention span. They have greater facility in using a medley of hula implements, and are capable of more advanced choreography.
Participation in this hula halau (school) is one of the best introductions to Hawaiian language and culture. Children will learn both hula kahiko (ancient hula) and hula auana (modern hula), with the basic steps as well as oli (Hawaiian chants). Some classes may learn to use implements, such as the ipu (gourd drum).
Kumu Mālia imparts a genuine enthusiasm for learning as well as a deep appreciation of nature.
Please reserve your spot to participate and kindly let your instructor know of any injuries or contradictions. Your enrollment is a commitment to all 12 weeks and no credits are refunded for missed classes.
Class size for Keiki Hula is limited to 12 to ensure quality attention.
