Idaho Falls Symphony Indefinitely Postpones Upcoming Concerts Out of Caution Over COVID-19

Dear members of the Idaho Falls Symphony community:

Music Director Thomas Heuser along with the Idaho Falls Symphony Board of Directors and Executive Director Alekzandria Peugh have been monitoring the ongoing and developing situation concerning COVID-19 in the United States. Out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to postpone indefinitely our subscription concert on March 14th and the Evening of Chamber Music scheduled for March 19th.

We make this announcement with a heavy heart: our soloist and sixty musicians have been hard at work, and countless hours of work have gone on behind the scenes in preparation. The entire month has been organized as a celebration of women composers and performers, and out of respect for these under-performed works, we do sincerely hope to hold these concerts at a later date. This is not a decision that we have made lightly but we are following the example of orchestras around the country. As other communities have decided to move away from holding mass gatherings and public events, we also feel a responsibility to protect our patrons and musicians from the potential of a wider spread of the virus.

We hope you remain safe and well, and we look forward to seeing you again at the concert hall very soon. Please feel free to send questions and concerns to the Idaho Falls Symphony office, Monday through Friday from 11am to 4pm, at 208-529-1080 or office@ifsymphony.org.
