Due to the escalation of COVID-19 concerns, Sarasota Orchestra will cancel the remainder of concerts in the 2019-2020 season. This includes the cancellation of the Discoveries and Outdoor Pops concerts in May, and the Sarasota Music Festival in June.
While the Orchestra’s hearts are heavy, the bold and brilliant performances of this past season still reverberate. They point the way to all the inspiring, healing concert experiences in store on the other side of this most difficult time. Sarasota Orchestra plans and prepares for the scheduled commencement of the upcoming season in September and the next Sarasota Music Festival running from June 5 to 26, 2021.
In connection with Sarasota Music Festival programming, Festival leadership is currently reviewing the rescheduling of programming connected with this year’s Suffragist Project and exploring SMF virtual connectivity during the typical festival period in June.
The Orchestra is wholly grateful to patrons who have donated their tickets to assist our Orchestra’s return to the performance hall. The support of patrons is essential to the Orchestra’s ability to sustain itself during this challenging period.
In the meantime, the musicians will not be silent. They have launched an online hub of music and recorded vignettes called Music Moves Us. This initiative is intended to keep the music playing in your hearts and homes until we can come together at performances again.
