Rhapsody in Blue & Mahler in Honolulu

The Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra brings a program pairing Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue with Mahler to Honolulu's Neal S. Blaisdell Concert Hall. The orchestra, one of the oldest west of the Rockies, has called the Blaisdell home since its relaunch in 2011, and its current music director, Dane Lam, took the podium in 2023.

Expect a polished evening of orchestral favorites in a hall known for its acoustics. The program's blend of jazz-infused American classicism and late-Romantic grandeur offers something for both newcomers and seasoned concertgoers. As with all HSO performances, the musicians bring a deep local history to the stage, continuing a tradition that dates back over a century.
