PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ANNOUNCES CONCERT CHANGES THROUGH MID-JUNE RELATED TO ONGOING CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

Orchestra continues to offer music online with "Extraordinary Measures" initiative

For Immediate Release
April 27, 2020

PITTSBURGH, PA—The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra today announced that, due to ongoing restrictions from public health and government entities related to the coronavirus pandemic, and for its concerns for the health and safety concerns of its patrons, staff and musicians, it is implementing cost-saving measures, and that concerts currently scheduled through mid-June will now be cancelled or postponed.

“We continue to find ourselves living through an unprecedented time as the situation with COVID-19 grows more challenging across the world. This crisis has hit hard the performing arts community, and the Pittsburgh Symphony is no exception,” said Melia Tourangeau, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. “While I had hoped that we would not have to change these concerts and implement cost reductions, the financial implications are clear. These are particularly difficult decisions to implement especially after everything we have accomplished over the past five years. I am grateful to our exceptional musicians for volunteering salary reductions, and I appreciate the impact that cost-saving salary reductions will have on our remarkable staff. I am humbled and grateful for the passion and dedication of the musicians, board and staff to each other, to the community and to the cause of presenting great music—it is what makes the Pittsburgh Symphony so special.”
