The Honolulu Symphony, also known as the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra, is the official symphonic orchestra of the City & County of Honolulu in the State of Hawai'i. Founded in 1900 by the legendary Royal Hawaiian Band master Henri Berger, the Honolulu Symphony has the distinction of being the oldest symphony orchestra west of the Rocky Mountains. Originally housed in a clubhouse on the slopes of Punchbowl, the Honolulu Symphony now plays from the Neal S. Blaisdell Concert Hall in downtown Honolulu.
