Aloha.
The Kona Aloha Singers are excited to announce the launch of our new Youth Chorus for grades 1st through 8th. These amazing keiki will be joining the Winter 2024 concert singing some fun holiday tunes. As a non-profit, contemporary community chorus we are reaching out to you through our Winter Sponsorship Campaign.
Sponsorship provides an opportunity for area businesses and patrons to show their support for arts education. Our audience will see your ad in the program while they enjoy our choral version of some of their favorite rock/pop songs and songs from other genres. We believe that is why so many people turn out for our concerts because we are filling a long-awaited need in our community. Our music team makes all of this possible.
