Performances
In addition to the operas, HYOC performs at a variety of venues either alone or with other groups. On 22 November 2006, together with the Honolulu Symphony and the Symphony Chorus, HYOC presented John Rutter's Mass of the Children, featuring HYOC as the prominent children's chorus.
HYOC also hosts several music festivals. Most notably, HYOC holds the annual Pacific Rim Children's Chorus Festival in July, bringing singers from all over the United States and elsewhere to Hawaii to study choral music of the pacific rim with clinician Henry Leck.

Famous quotes containing the word performances:
“This play holds the season’s record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
