First Mondays Chamber Concerts—2019–2020 Season

Bach Chamber orchestra membersAt Lutheran Church of Honolulu we believe the arts hold a special place in our community, and we want to do something that’s never been done in Honolulu before. In support of both local performers and concert-goers, we’re launching a concert series featuring a free concert on the first Monday of each month, and we’re programming outstanding chamber works that are often overlooked by other organizations, giving voice to intimate works for the enjoyment of the community.
