Pittsburgh Symphony adds to list of canceled concert dates
The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has canceled all concerts through May 21, in accordance with recommended “stay-at-home” orders to limit the spread of covid-19.
Concerts that have been canceled are:
• May 1-3: PNC Pops “Paul Shaffer”
• May 5, 6, 12 and 13: Second Grade Schooltime
• May 8-10: BNY Mellon Grand Classics “Romantic Chopin”
• May 15-17: BNY Mellon Grand Classics “Elgar Cello Concerto”
• May 20: Pre-K/Kindergarten Schooltime
• May 21: Wilkinsburg Community Concert
“We are looking at all options through the summer for rescheduling any concerts that have been cancelled,” said Melia Tourangeau, PSO president and CEO. “We invite all to join us online for our musical initiative, Extraordinary Measures, and thank you for your continued patience, flexibility and support as we navigate these challenging times.”
The Extraordinary Measures initiative is a series of musical offerings presented through the orchestra’s website and social media channels, featuring self-produced videos from PSO musicians, educational support for families and instrumental students, along with a Friday night series of archival live performances, hosted by Music Director Manfred Honeck.
The first in this series, a video performance of the orchestra in Berlin in 2016, is available for free viewing until May 10 on the orchestra’s website.
