Chamber Orchestra of Kona

The Chamber Orchestra of Kona (COOK) is a volunteer community orchestra committed to making the classical masterworks and orchestra performance accessible to the greater Kona community.

Founded by the late Bernaldo Evangelista, COOK is an organization with decades of history of music making.

Farley Sangels

Artistic Director/Conductor

Farley Sangels is a multi-talented, multi-instrumental, multi-genre musical missionary with a wealth of experience in and love for the whole musical universe.


Currently Farley lives in beautiful Ocean View on the magical island of Hawai’i and performs regularly as trumpeter-keyboardist of the Jazz Gardeners, producer and multi-instrumentalist with electro-shamanic duo Spark of Spirit and is the Director of Lamma Studios. He serves as Artistic Director and Conductor of the Chamber Orchestra of Kona.


Previous to his musical liberation, Farley performed with many of the world’s greatest artists in the best venues during his 21 year career as a “full time” orchestral musician, culminating in a six year tenure as Principal Trumpet of the Hong Kong Philharmonic. With that ensemble he toured the world, performing in the world’s great concert halls and excelling in the high-pressure environment of the top level of the orchestral performance standard.


Farley loves to connect with audiences and his homespun humor and wit make his onstage interactions with band and audience entertaining and engaging.
