By Derek Paiva
Advertiser Staff Writer

The winners of this year's fifth annual Art Song Contest will be featured on tomorrow evening's "Great Songs with Gary Hickling" program on KHPR, Hawaii Public Radio.

Presented by HPR and the Lotte Lehmann Foundation, the contest winners' recital was held on Nov. 11 at Orvis Auditorium on the University of Hawai'i-Manoa campus. Tomorrow's "Great Songs" program at 7 p.m. will feature excerpts from that recital.

Chosen from more than 60 contestants, this year's winners were Debra Lynn of Maui, Kaweo Kanoho of Hilo, and, from O'ahu, Heather Roberts and Shelly Breneman. Phyllis Haines, a 1999 contest winner, was asked to stand in for Breneman, who was unable to attend.

A one-hour program, "Great Songs" will be broadcast on O'ahu on KHPR 88.1, in Wailuku on KKUA 90.7 and in Hilo on KANO 91.1. For more information, call 955-8821.
