I was honored to play The Queen’s Music for the Hawaii Island Chamber of Commerce last month. Each quarter, the Chamber hosts a New Member Luncheon, and I was asked to play the harp for this group.
It’s always a pleasure to bring the harp out to a group of people who don’t usually get live music in their meetings. Looking forward to playing more for them as time goes one.

Please join me and my flutist, Kathy Dorn, next Saturday, September 8 at 10 am in Lili’uokalani Gardens in downtown Hilo. Kathy and I will be opening the He Hali`a Aloha No Lili`uokalani festival, playing original tunes composed by the last monarch of Hawaii, Queen Lili’uokalani. I will also be playing during the Ho’okipa ceremony, where Hawaiian dignitaries will offer gifts in honor of the Queen.
The annual festival is held on the occasion of the Queen’s birthday and is a free family fun event all day long. Featuring children’s activities, entertainment, craft and demonstration booths, food trucks, tea ceremony, and mass hula. (I once danced in this festival about 10 years ago. Now I feel incredibly blessed to perform the Queen’s music.)
This event is co-sponsored with County of Hawaii Parks & Recreation Department Culture & Education Division and Lili`uokalani Trust. For more information, visit the event’s Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/events/1857406794554886/

Like all royals of her day, she received a solid musical education in the Western tradition from the missionaries who arrived on Hawaiian shores. The Queen showed particular talent and composed more than 300 tunes in her lifetime, many of them while she was under house-arrest in the I’olani Palace.
Kathy and I will be playing old favorites, like “Aloha ‘Oe” and “Sanoe.” And some that we played earlier this year at the Palace Theatre in the Ho’okia’i: Lili’uokalani, like a love song for the forest of Puna and a little ode to a water sprinkler…
