Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the board and staff of the Warren Philharmonic Orchestra have canceled their April 11 performance, “Quixotic Journeys!”
“We are unable to find a suitable venue to ensure the safety of our audience and performers,” said WPO Executive Director Barry Dunaway.
“In addition, many orchestra members are unavailable to perform until vaccination levels have increased. The student concerts scheduled for April are canceled, as well,” said Dunaway.
Patrons who purchased season tickets for 2020-2021 will receive tickets for 2021-2022 at no charge. Program advertisers’ payments also will carry over.
“We are making plans for the next season and look forward to a normal schedule,” said Dunaway.
The Orchestra’s Strings of Joy program will continue with provisions for social distancing and other safety measures. The program provides free violin lessons to selected Trumbull County students in grades three through seven.
The Warren Philharmonic Orchestra is comprised of 50 professional musicians from the area. In addition to its concerts for the public, the orchestra has performed free school concerts for thousands of area school children.
