ATTENTION! CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

PRESS RELEASE: from Audrey’s desk:

Sad news! Because of this virus scare, we are forced to announce that we will not hold our April concert series “Cherry Blossoms” as scheduled. We will reschedule for a future date. Tickets will be honored at those future concerts—or any other concerts as usual.

Good News! This challenge will not last forever! It will run its course of a few months and be over in time for next season’s concert schedule when we all can greet one another normally once again.

Urgent news! This is the time when we all need to have faith in the future. The orchestra’s survival depends on your willingness to send in your next season subscriptions and donations/sponsorships right now. Securing the wonderful musicians for next season is underway as we speak—but we must have subscriptions.

Please don’t wait. Our musicians need assurance now. We will be posting the new season online at our website: FloridaLakesSymphonyOrchestra.com very shortly…..and you were sent a flyer, as well as seen the listing in your last concert program. If you have a question, please call me at 352-589-1500.

Thank you all for being such a marvelous audience and friend of beautiful music. We value you so very much and hope that you feel the same.
