Dear Friends and Patrons of Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale,
We deeply regret to announce that we have made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel all remaining performances of the 2019-20 season:
- SESSIONS: Jewish Songlines at Bing Concert Hall Studio
- Romantic Reflections in San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Berkeley
- Scylla et Glaucus in San Francisco
We have been constantly and carefully reviewing the very latest information from the Center for Disease Control and various public health departments across the Bay Area in regards to COVID-19. By order of the San Francisco Mayor as of March 13, all events and large gatherings over 100 people are prohibited in San Francisco until April 30. Santa Clara County issued a similar order on the same day, and the City of Berkeley’s Health Officer has recommended all large community events be cancelled as of March 10.
We are extremely disappointed to suspend these performances but the health, safety, and well-being of our audience, musicians, and staff is paramount. We thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we navigate through this ongoing and ever-changing situation together.
