The Regina Symphony Orchestra has announced the postponement of its concerts through mid-February due to COVID-19.
Increased transmission of COVID-19 within the community has prompted the Regina Symphony Orchestra (RSO) to make a difficult decision.
On Monday, RSO announced its January and February shows have been postponed as COVID case numbers continue to climb in the province.
“In the interest of public health in Regina, and in consideration for the well-being of the general public, patrons, staff, the artists of the orchestra, and guest performers travelling to the area for concerts, the Regina Symphony Orchestra regretfully announces the cancellation of all planned performances through mid-February, effective immediately,” read the statement from RSO on Monday.
RSO said the decision is based on public health concerns with respect to large gatherings and organized events in following recommendations from the province’s chief medical health officer and the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA).
The following RSO performances have been postponed:
Jan. 15 – An Evening of Pink Floyd, Pops seriesJan. 29 – New Year, New Music, Chamber at Government House seriesFeb. 5 – Corelli & Telemann, Baroque seriesFeb. 12 – Sarah Slean: The Music of Joni Mitchell, Pops series
The Beethoven Symphony No. 9 performance, which was scheduled for Jan. 22, has been moved to May 14 at the Conexus Arts Centre as the new season finale for the RSO’s Classics Series.
