The Honolulu Symphony contributes to Honolulu, Hawaii through artistic, economic, and educational means. They help the community learn about culture and traditions of the island, as well as offer international music. Many of the performers have studied at top universities and conservatories around the world. They work beyond full time to ensure their performances are the best in quality and enjoyment.

The musicians work for the symphony full time practicing and preparing, and earn an income from the ticket sales every year. These sales allow the symphony to remain open and continue to offer new performances each year. The events and performances do vary from year to year. Some of the Christmas specials are repeated like the Nutcracker Ballet, but most of the time the shows are new from year to year. Corelli and Vivaldi concerts are some of the productions which have been done.
