Staples Orphenians Fundraise for Hawaii Trip with Star-Studded Concert at Westport Library

Press Release

The Staples Music Department invites music lovers and music supporters to the Aloha Cabaret, an amazing evening of entertainment on Sunday, January 22nd at 6:30pm, at Westport Library. The 42 member renowned Staples High School Orphenians choral ensemble plan to travel to Hawaii this summer for the International Luau of Song Choral Festival and are raising funds to ensure that all Orphenians, including those with financial constraints, can make the trip.

The musical evening will be hosted by musician and CBS Sunday morning correspondent, David Pogue, and will include a special guest appearance and performance by Tony Award Winner & Grammy Award nominated stage and screen icon, Kelli O’Hara, and of course performances by Staples High School's own nationally recognized Orphenians!

“This trip is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for these student musicians,” said Orphenians director Luke Rosenberg who has led two other musical tours over the past eleven years of his tenure with the group.

“We want to make this unique musical, educational and cultural experience possible for every member of the ensemble,” said Rosenberg. “This evening of music aims to raise funds to help cover expenses for those who cannot afford all or some of the associated costs of the trip.”

The night will also feature Hawaiian themed lite bites as well as a silent auction featuring experiences, goodies and many exotic trips! 

The Aloha Cabaret will take place at 6:30pm Sunday, January 22 at The Westport Library. Tickets are $150 per person for General Admission (6:30pm) and $225 per person for VIP (6:00pm early entry, mingle with guest performers, and choice seating). Tickets will not be sold at the door.
