The future appears uncertain for the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony. In an email, the organization said it would not be “commencing our season this week” and no events appear on their online calendar.
The future appears uncertain for the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony.
On Saturday, the director of operations emailed members of the Youth Orchestra Program saying that it would not be “commencing our season this week.”
The email from Laurie Castello was shared with CTV Kitchener.
“Scheduled concerts, Youth Orchestra activities and other programs for the ’23-’24 season will not be proceeding,” Castello wrote. “Please do not attend any rehearsals scheduled for Sunday through Wednesday this week.”
Members of the Youth Orchestra had very little notice of the cancellation.
Two people told CTV they received an email reminder for Sunday’s practice on Friday night, and just 24 hours later, got the cancellation email from Castello.
In response to a member’s question via email, Castello responded: “Unfortunately I don’t have any additional information that I can share with you right now. We’re working as quickly as we can through a series of steps with the Board, Foundation and others. We’ll provide more information as quickly as we possibly can, but please know that it will take a little bit of time before that happens.”
