Our mission

“To present the highest-quality performances of great music, bringing national and international distinction to the orchestra and its community; To delight and educate audiences of all ages and backgrounds, and enhance the cultural vitality and quality of life in these islands; and To operate in a financially sound manner.”

A greater pace for a greater place.

The Hawai‘i Symphony is the orchestra of Hawai‘i, a public service provider, a pillar for the arts, and a home for an all-inclusive community.

Our vision is to broaden community access to meaningful musical experiences to everyone in our culturally rich state. The HSO remains committed to reaching our community through in-person performances and digital broadcasts that feature our gifted musicians, stellar guest artists, and renowned conductors.

In the spirit of aloha and ‘ohana, we are proud to be your Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra.
