The Honolulu Symphony announced today it is postponing its Nov. 7 and Nov. 8 concerts featuring Haydn�s choral masterwork �The Creation� 2010, because of financial constraints.

Ticketholders can move their tickets to the rescheduled performance in 2010 � at a date to be determined � or to any of the upcoming Honolulu Symphony Halekulani MasterWorks or Honolulu Symphony Toyota Pops concerts in the 2009-2010 season.
In a news release announcing the decision, Symphony officials stated 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,�Majken Mechling, executive director of the Honolulu Symphony stated in the release. �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 can contact the Honolulu Symphony Box Office, 792-2000, to reschedule their tickets.
