Due to the public health crisis, we have cancelled all events through May 31 to help assist the efforts in reducing the spread of COVID-19. All staff are working remotely, and our musicians continue to #PlayOn from home as well. During these unprecedented times, the Colorado Symphony is looking to our friends, donors, and patrons to help us weather this storm. Here are some ways you can continue to help us during this uncertain time: 1. Share on Social Media Follow, Friend, Love, Comment, and Share our posts on social media. We continue to #PlayOn — help us spread the music! 2. Donate Your Tickets The Colorado Symphony is facing a major loss of ticket revenue (a primary source of income) during this unprecedented time. We ask that you consider donating your tickets as a tax-deductible donation rather than requesting a refund. This small gesture will go a long way in ensuring that we will be able to return and produce the performances and educational activities that you love. 3. Make a Donation or Increase Your Giving The Colorado Symphony is daily assessing the real impact we will face as a result of COVID-19. We want you to know that we're here with you through this challenge and we will continue to find creative ways to safely present our music and musicians to you. Your support means more to us now than ever before - by making a donation, you are supporting the staff and musicians that are keeping this music alive. Please consider making a donation today. 4. Subscribe Our 2020/21 Season will continue as planned and subscription packages of all shapes and sizes are available. Become a subscriber or renew your subscription for next season right now! 5. Purchase a Gift Certificate Gift certificates are available in any denomination and can be used to purchase single tickets or subscription packages for the Colorado Symphony.
