Calling all Honolulu Children’s Opera Chorus / Hawaii Youth Opera Chorus Alumni

Because so many Jr. Bows, like me, are alumni of HCOC/HYOC, I wanted to post this message. I should be in one of the photos. Guess I was absent that day : (

We want to Reconnect to YOU!”Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me”…

“See the world through children’s eyes” …

“La sui mo ti del est” …

Do these lyrics resonate with you still today?  Do you recall their melody?

What memories do you recall of your time in the choir? Where did you Rehearse? In which Operas and Performances did you participate?

Did you sing under Ms. Eileen Lum, Ms. Misajon, Aunty Nola, Aunty Diane, Aunty Maile?

Did you go on tour to the neighbor islands, Japan, Europe, New York City, Utah, Virginia or China?

We celebrated our 65th Season in 2025-26.  Over the last 6.5 decades, the Honolulu Children’s Opera Chorus (HCOC), now the Hawaii Youth Opera Chorus (HYOC) has provided an unparalleled musical education for thousands of students.  Mahalo for being a part of that legacy!

Our goal over the next couple of months is to reconnect with as many alumni as we can. We’d appreciate your kokua in this regard.

We haven’t done the best job of collecting relevant alumni information over the years, and are endeavoring to improve upon that. While we may have your name and some contact info, things change as time progresses and we also lack other info like years of participation and graduation years.
