Hawaii Symphony Orchestra is used to be called Honolulu Symphony Orchestra, which filed for chapter 11 in October 2009 and silenced its 110 years history. But finally, they've come back after two years absence!
Last night's performance was exciting and touching. Since the old musicians stay and perform at Hawaii Symphony orchestra, they seemed to perform with happiness and joy that they made a magnificent return!
The conductor was Mr. Naoto Ooki, and they performed Weber Overture to “Oberon”, Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20, and Beethoven Symphony No. 5. The Symphony No.5 started with dramatic opening with its suspenseful pause, followed by the melodious second and mysterious third movement, and finished with the powerful and delighted finale, which, I think, represented the story of closing Honolulu Symphony and the birth of Hawaii Symphony Orchestra.
I believe, even though the size of the orchestra is small, the role that Hawaii Symphony plays in Hawaii is culturally important. I hope the orchestra will be well supported to create rich and matured culture here in Hawaii.
