News: The March and April concerts, and the May recital, sadly, cannot be re-scheduled this summer
Along with all our fellow performing arts organizations in Fairfield County, our hopes for rescheduling our March, April and May concerts during the summer will not be possible. All ticket holders received a communication from us that they should refer to.
The health and safety of all our patrons is Stamford Symphony’s primary concern and we continue to follow the guidelines set forth by the City of Stamford, the Connecticut Department of Public Health, the NY State Health Department, and the CDC.
What are my options with my tickets?
If you have tickets to March, April and May concerts, you may choose to do one of the following:
- Support your Stamford Symphony by donating your ticket back. We will provide you with a receipt for tax purposes. Your donation will directly impact our musicians as we made the decision to compensate our musicians a portion of their fees, and with your help we can do more.
- Turn your ticket into a gift card and share it with friends! Our loyal concertgoers are our best marketing tool!All gift card requests need to be made by June 15th.
- Move forward the value of your tickets into the 2020-2021 season.
- For further information and additional options, please contact Patron Services at office@stamfordsymphony.org or 203.325.1407 x10 before June 15th.
How can I still enjoy the Stamford Symphony?
Stamford Symphony introduced the Stamford Symphony Channel on the website. It is filled with music and interactive content with members of the Stamford Symphony including
- Virtual orchestra performance – click HERE to see “Amazing Grace”
- Solo serenades, previously recorded performances and instrument demos by our musicians
- Russell’s Virtual Sofa series with interviews of our musicians
Are you still accepting subscriptions for the 2020-2021 Season?
Yes! The Stamford Symphony has had a very healthy response to the new season and we want you all to keep the subscriptions coming in! The Stamford Symphony is considering numerous options for our safe return next season. What that will be exactly is still to be determined . Please be assured that working closely with Michael Stern, our new Music Director, we promise to deliver you the most dynamic, varied, safe orchestral experience for all. Patron Services is happy to help you process a subscription. Please email office@stamfordsymphony.org, or you may leave a message at 203.325.1407 x10 with any questions you may have.
How can I help?
Thank you for all your kind emails and phone messages of support and your understanding as we navigate these uncertain times. Stamford Symphony prioritizes the health of our audience, musicians and staff first.
There are three very important ways in which you can help Stamford Symphony:
- Donate your tickets back. We are happy to provide everyone with a receipt for tax purposes. The likely loss of nearly half our season will have a major financial impact to Stamford Symphony. We feel it is important to compensate our musicians. They are all freelance artists and have had most, if not all of their engagements cancelled with very little income in the foreseeable future. We are kindly asking you to consider donating any tickets for performances not taking place, back to Stamford Symphony. By doing this, you will be helping limit the financial impact to the organization and helping our musicians weather this difficult time.
- Subscribing to the 2020-2021 Season! The current climate may change the details of the 2020-2021 season, but rest assured that working closely with Michael Stern, our new Music Director, we promise to deliver you the most dynamic, varied, safe orchestral experience for all.
- These are trying times for everyone, including for Stamford Symphony and our musicians. Despite these challenges, we remain committed to giving you access to great music at home and providing for our staff and musicians. We ask you to please consider making a donation of an amount that is possible, so that we can continue playing great music for you well into the future! Please click HERE
