Dear Friends and Supporters of Musicians at Play Foundation’s Civic Orchestra of Los Angeles,

 

Due to the widespread fires in Southern California, the unpredictable air quality, and in consideration of our many musician colleagues affected by this tragedy, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our concert originally scheduled for January 18. The safety and well-being of our community are our top priorities.

 

We understand how much our musicians looked forward to this performance and the opportunity to explore new repertoire with our esteemed faculty. We share your disappointment but are committed to rescheduling the concert and will provide updates as soon as possible.

 

We will continue to honor the stipends for our Civic Orchestra of Los Angeles fellows and the artist fees for our dedicated faculty.

 

We extend our gratitude to our media partner, Classical California KUSC, for their efforts. We are partnering with MusiCares to provide support and resources during this challenging time.

 

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Please stay safe and take care of yourselves and your loved ones.

 

Sincerely,

 

Musicians at Play Foundation  

Civic Orchestra of Los Angeles
