(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – You are a vital part of our community of musicians and friends, and your safety at our events is our highest priority. Like you, we are concerned about the spread and impact of COVID-19. Concurrent with the Mayor’s Declaration of a State of Emergency for the District of Columbia—and our desire to ensure the health of our musicians, artists, educators, concert attendees and youth—our staff, and the Board of Directors have made the difficult decision to postpone all concerts, rehearsals and in-person workshops and events until further notice.
Below are some of the immediate events that are immediately affected:
-
March 14: National Park Service Performance (NW DC)
-
March 20: An Evening with Bach (SW DC)
-
March 22: Orchestra Concert in Tenleytown (NW DC)
-
Ongoing recreation and library workshops and classes
Stay tuned here for regular updates on the impact of COVID-19 on our programming and consider supporting the artists, musicians and educators that power our programs and this work during this challenging time.
