CANCELLATION NOTICE

We regret to inform you that our American Rhapsody concert, originally scheduled for Thursday, January 23rd, has been cancelled.

The BRSO team has been working to find solutions, but unfortunately, the River Center Theatre remains closed 1/23, and out of an abundance of caution due to flight cancellations and hazardous road conditions, we've made the choice to cancel the concert. 

We will be offering ticketholders a few choices. 

We would love to exchange your tickets for one of the following concerts:

-A Night at the Movies, March 29th

-Chamber String Quartet, March 20th

-Chamber Saxophone Quartet, April 10th

-Carmina Burana, May 1st

If none of these concerts work for you, we can process the amount paid for your tickets as a tax-deductible donation for 2025. 

Lastly, if you prefer, we can refund the full amount paid to the original method of payment. 

We're very sorry to have to communicate this news to you all.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email or leave a message with our staff. 

Thank you all for understanding, and stay safe!
