Annapolis Symphony cancels additional concerts in response to COVID-19 virus

Annapolis Symphony OrchestraThe Annapolis Symphony Orchestra announces additional concert cancellations. The Box Office will contact ticket holders for these cancelled performances to offer ticket options of a donation to the Musician Fund or a full refund. The cancelled performances include:

  • April 6 & 16 – Symphony Study Spring Session with Dr. Rachel Franklin
  • April 26 – Chamber Music Series Woodwind Quintet
  • May 1 & 2 – Masterworks Concert with Awadagin Pratt
  • May 9 – The Life & Times of Beethoven

On March 15, the Centers for Disease and Control (CDC) announced new measures to help contain the spread of COVID-19 in the community. Among them, was new guidance restricting all gatherings greater than 50 people for eight weeks. This was further reduced to 10. The ASO is heeding this guidance.

While the world is beginning to feel the effects of the coronavirus, for our musicians the pain is especially acute. Widespread cancellations pose a significant threat to their livelihood. Knowing that their livelihood is at risk, the Symphony’s Board has created the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra Musician Fund. Our goal is to reduce their financial strain to the greatest extent possible.

Maryland Hall, and the Symphony Box Office, are closed, by order of the Governor.

The symphony is monitoring emails. However, Symphony staff are not able to check phone messages remotely. If you need to contact someone at the Symphony, please email [email protected].
