10/15/2020 12:01 AMFor the first time since March, New Haven Symphony Orchestra (NHSO) musicians will gather together in person to make music.
On Saturday, Oct. 17 and Saturday, Oct. 24 at 2 p.m., musicians from the New Haven Symphony Orchestra will perform in small, socially distant ensembles at the Canal Dock Boathouse, 475 Long Wharf Drive, New Haven.
The first concert on Oct. 17 will feature a percussion duo and string trio, and the second concert on Oct. 24 will feature the symphony’s brass quintet. The two varied programs will include a range of classics and popular solo and small ensemble music, including pieces by Bach, Bernstein, Gershwin, Debussy, Sousa, and Fats Waller. The performances will be outdoors on the facility’s extensive patio facing the water.
“Live performance has become a most precious and appreciated commodity since the pandemic struck. We have missed playing for our city and are so excited to be able to gather together for these delightful concerts. Our city’s beautiful waterfront property will make for a wonderful and, most importantly, safe location for a small group of our musicians to gather together and make music for you,” says NHSO CEO Elaine C. Carroll.
The NHSO will be enforcing health and safety guidelines per recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and State of Connecticut.
All health and safety expectations and requirements can be found at NewHavenSymphony.org. Tickets to the performance are $25 for adults, $10 for students, and free for kids under 18 with the purchase of an adult ticket. Tickets must be purchased in advance by noon on the Friday before each performance. Tickets are available at NewHavenSymphony.org or by calling 203-787-4282.
