CANCELED: 250 Years of Beethoven
Posted 3/7/20 Due to the rapidly evolving situation and continued spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus in San Jose and the greater Bay Area, Cambrian Symphony's Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to cancel our upcoming March 28, 2020 concerts. The City of San Jose has this week progressed to Level 4 of its Pandemic Response Plan and has recommended cancellation of community gatherings. We are of course deeply disappointed to not be able to share this wonderful music with the community, however the health and safety of our musicians and audience is our utmost concern. We encourage all members of the community to practice daily preventive care as recommended by the CDC. Please stay healthy! Thank you for your support of Cambrian Symphony and we look forward to seeing you at the McAfee Performing Arts Center on June 13, 2020, for our season finale. The following concerts have been canceled: March 28, 2020, 3:30 PM Martin Luther King Library, Atrium, San Jose State University March 28, 2020, 7:30 PM The Rotunda, City Hall San Jose |

To our incredible Cambrian Symphony community:
We regret that due to continued restrictions on public gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we must cancel our June 13 concert and postpone our much anticipated recording session at Skywalker Sound. Thank you for being part of our wonderful 5th season, and we look forward to the day when we can once again share live music with you in the concert hall. Though the uncertainties surrounding the pandemic pose significant challenges for planning our 2020-21 season, we are so eager to come together again to make music, and are exploring how we can adapt to the new reality of social distancing. Please watch this website and look for more information to follow at the end of the summer.
At this time we must also acknowledge the recent events that have unfolded across our nation surrounding the tragic death of George Floyd and so many others. We at Cambrian Symphony stand in solidarity with those who call for social change and we state unequivocally: Black Lives Matter. We believe that each and every one of us plays a role in shaping the world we live in. We ask our community to join us as we reflect on the injustice of systemic racism and on actions large and small that each of us can take to ensure a better tomorrow.
Wishing you and your families health and safety,
Cambrian Symphony
