***UPDATED MARCH 17***
In accordance with directives from public health authorities, and the ongoing developments surrounding COVID-19, the Board of Directors of the Kamloops Symphony has made the following decisions regarding our future activities:
Barb’s Used Book & Music Sale – March 21 to April 5, 2020
Keeping in mind the welfare of all patrons and particularly our volunteers that are instrumental to running the semi-annual sale, this Spring 2020 edition has been postponed indefinitely. This crucial fundraiser for the KSO will be remounted at a later date, once administration receives clarity on when it is socially responsible to do so. The Kamloops Symphony wishes to thank all volunteers who had already committed to shifts, and Total Concept Developments Ltd. For their ongoing support of this event.
We will not be accepting donations at this time as there will be nobody on hand to do so.
An Evening with Eleanor Wachtel – April 3, 2020
This fundraising event has been cancelled, with hopes to reschedule it sometime in the fall in conjunction with a future Book Sale. All ticket holders have been automatically refunded.
Luminous Voices – April 11, 2020
This concert has been officially postponed. Out of respect to all the musicians involved, including the KSO Chorus and choral students from the Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music and School District 73 Honour Choir, the Kamloops Symphony is making a commitment to reschedule the concert either in its entirety or in part for a later time. We unfortunately cannot commit to a specific date as of now but are having open discussions with all those involved to determine what might be possible.
In the coming days, all ticket holders to this concert will be given options as to what they wish to do with their tickets. We ask that all ticket holders await direct communication before calling the Kamloops Live Box Office, as they are currently experiencing a high volume of phone calls.
Sense of Wonder – May 2 & 3, 2020
At this point, our May 2nd & 3rd concerts, A Sense of Wonder in Kamloops and Salmon Arm are currently on hold until we have further developments. Ticket sales have been suspended.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we determine the best course of action through this ever evolving and unpredictable situation. We also wish to thank all advocates of the Symphony and the Arts in Kamloops for your continued support.
Our priority remains the health of all our patrons, artists, crew, and stakeholders, and we urge everyone to take precautions in monitoring their wellbeing.
