At Lutheran Church of Honolulu, we enjoy music of all styles and from all places. The last several years we have been hosting and providing a space for jazz, Hawaiian music, and a variety of modern musical genres. All of this is in addition to the fine sacred music that enhances our worship services.
Since the summer of 2021, LCH has offered our Summer Jazz Series. This series supports local musicians and gives the greater Honolulu community a fun summer program to enjoy. Join us for two unforgettable evenings of live music at our upcoming jazz concerts!
This series is generously supported by the Orvis Foundation, church members, and also by you! Summer Jazz Journey concerts are free. A suggested donation of $20 is humbly requested.
This summer the LCH music program jump starts our “Music in Mission” ministry by collecting school supplies for children on O‘ahu at both Summer Jazz Journey concerts. We encourage to donate items such as #2 pencils, pens, pencil pouches, spiral-bound or composition notebooks, folders, three-ring binders, erasers, rulers, crayons, colored pencils, highlighters, backpacks that can withstand everyday wear and tear, and lunchboxes with food-safe interior liners.
