Intro

A Collaboration between Hawaii Youth Symphony and the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra

Side-by-Side programs are joint initiatives of professional orchestras and youth orchestras; a chance for aspiring young musicians to play in the “major leagues” for a night or two. Students and pros become stand partners and sit side-by-side.

Our fall 2023 Side-by-Side concert will be performed by 150 musicians, which is possibly the biggest orchestra to ever perform at the iconic Waikiki Shell Amphitheater. This multi-generational orchestra includes 86 musicians from Youth Symphony I and 64 musicians from the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra.

We are proud to collaborate with the Hawaii Youth Symphony on this special project and invite all to come attend the performances!

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, the Hawaii Youth Symphony and your Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra are pleased to offer these concerts FREE  to the public. No tickets or RSVP needed.
