Cleveland Orchestra concert canceled due to COVID-19 case
CLEVELAND — Less than one month after coming back from a hiatus brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cleveland Orchestra has canceled Saturday’s concert due to one performer possibly testing positive for COVID-19.
The iconic institution is currently in the middle of its “Pictures at an Art Exhibition” series, conducted by Thierry Fischer.
According to the Cleveland Orchestra’s website, ticket holders for tonight’s performance have been provided with a response form that allows them to donate their tickets as a tax-deductible contribution, or, request a full refund.
The orchestra is also allowing fans to exchange their tickets for a different performance, which can be done by calling the ticket office at (216) 231-111 or emailing [email protected].
