Holoku Queen performs hula with Virtual Choir
This project began earlier this year when Borland, the Holokū queen and Chorale member, asked Academy Choir Director Lauren Chang ’01 Williams to help translate the Hawaiian song she had chosen to dance to into English. Over spring break, when it became clear that plans were about to change as the School moved to distance learning, Williams says she was heartbroken that Borland would not be able to perform. Williams hoped for a way to create something “truly special and unique” that would allow Borland to still be featured as Holokū queen.
