Indianapolis, IN— In keeping with precautionary guidelines necessitated by the COVID-19 outbreak, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra announces the difficult decision to cancel performances through September 17, 2020.
This latest cancellation affects the last three Hilbert Circle Theatre concerts of the 2019-20 Lilly Classical Series and Printing Partners Pops Series, the full Kroger Symphony on the Prairie season, the Fifth Third Bank Lunch Break Series, and all other special performances. “Our team has worked tirelessly throughout the year to plan a summer filled with engaging orchestral programs and vibrant touring acts,” said CEO James Johnson. “It is disappointing that we won’t be able to share these experiences with our community this year, but the safety of our musicians, staff, and patrons comes before all else.”
Patrons with tickets for canceled performances have several options, including:
- Ticket donation: Please consider a tax-deductible donation of the value of your ISO tickets. Your generous support is appreciated, as it allows the ISO to continue fulfilling our mission during these challenging times.
- Exchange: Hilbert Circle Theatre ticket buyers may exchange tickets for a gift certificate to be used for a future ISO ticket purchase or apply the value toward a subscription for the 2021 season.
- Value Pack Voucher Exchange: Symphony on the PrairieValue Pack holders may exchange their current Value Pack for 10 ticket vouchers to the 2021 40th season of Symphony on the Prairie performances.
- Value Pack Gift Certificate: Symphony on the Prairie Value Pack holders may exchange their current Value Pack for a gift certificate, which can be applied to any ISO performances through August 31, 2021.
Ticketholders may email the ISO box office at [email protected] by August 1, 2020, to determine their preferred action and assist with any other ticketing needs.
The ISO team is already working with many of the artists scheduled for summer 2020 to return next year. Kroger Symphony on the Prairie’s 2021 summer will include hits such as Face 2 Face; REVOLUTION: Music of the Beatles – A Symphonic Experience, conducted by Jack Everly; One Night of Queen; Who’s Bad Music Presents: The Evolution of Pop; and the return of the ISO’s annual Fourth of July Celebration, Star-Spangled Symphony.
