Honolulu – The Honolulu Symphony today announced the rescheduling of its production of Haydn’s choral masterwork “The Creation” to 2010. The concerts were originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8, 2009 at the Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu. All current ticketholders will have the opportunity to move their tickets to the rescheduled performance in 2010 or to any of the upcoming Honolulu Symphony Halekulani MasterWorks or Honolulu Symphony Toyota Pops concerts in the 2009-2010 season.

The decision to reschedule the concerts to later in the season is in keeping with the Honolulu Symphony’s commitment to the community that it will not stage productions unless fully supported by the current budget.

“The Honolulu Symphony is committed to financial responsibility and to the promise it made to the community – moving forward – to safeguard the well-being of this 110-year-old cultural organization,” said Majken Mechling, executive director, Honolulu Symphony. “Rescheduling the concerts is the responsible choice, although we are disappointed that the budget will not allow us to offer performances of Haydn’s beautiful ‘Creation’ to the community at this time. We anticipate that we will reschedule this concert to later in the season.”

Ticketholders may contact the Honolulu Symphony Box Office at (808) 792-2000 to reschedule their tickets.
