Keep great music sounding in Hawai‘i

Make a Gift today

The Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra is a treasured community asset thanks to the support of thousands of music lovers each year. Our organization and musicians are leaders for the arts—performing great music, strengthening music education for all ages, and enhancing the cultural vitality and quality of life in these islands.

Today the HSO remains a committed and valued community asset, and as we plan for the future, a Symphony that is shaped by Hawai‘i, whose offerings are uniquely of Hawai‘i, and whose vision for the future is designed for Hawai‘i.

Your support is essential to our success. The Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra is committed to entertaining, comforting, and inspiring through the power of music. We humbly invite you to help keep the music sounding for our entire island community by donating today.

With aloha and gratitude,

Dane Lam, Music & Artistic Director
And Your Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra
