Masterworks Chorale of Hawaii
Kawaiaha'o Church in Honolulu. Kawaiaha'o Church is located on the corner of King and Punchbowl streets in Honolulu. Conductor: Susan M. Duprey, Director of Choral Activities at Hawaii Pacific University. Soloists: Malia Kaai, Ella Edwards, Lorna Mount, Joseph Pettit and Timothy Carney. Organist: John S. McCreary, Organist Emeritus of St. Andrew's Cathedral, Honolulu. He was joined by 12 Honolulu Symphony musicians. Although in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Honolulu is a microcosm of the world - with people of many different racial extractions, ethnic backgrounds and religions. Everyone in Hawaii is part of a minority group. This diversity is reflected in the choir which consists of people from Caucasian, Asian, African-American, Hawaiian and other Poynesian backgrounds. We are all uniting through this music.
