COVID-19 Update from the Plano Symphony Orchestra

The Plano Symphony Orchestra has closely monitored the COVID-19 situation. Our highest priority is to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of every member of the Plano Symphony Orchestra family and our North Texas community. Due to the City of Richardson closing the Eisemann Center and the state of emergency declared by Dallas County, all PSO performances during the month of March and April have been cancelled.

We care deeply about protecting your investment in the Plano Symphony Orchestra. In the meantime, please consider donating your tickets. Your much-needed tax-deductible donation is an easy and important way to support the orchestra and its musicians. By donating your tickets, you will help the PSO address its own financial challenges. To donate your tickets, please email Marc Jennings at mjennings@planosymphony.org.

We fully recognize that these times are challenging on different and personal levels for everyone. If you would like to discuss additional options for your March and April tickets, please call your Plano Symphony at 972-473-7262 or email Marc. If we do not hear from you by April 17, we will consider your tickets donated to the orchestra.

All of us at the PSO sincerely thank you for your support and understanding during these challenging times.

Warmly,
Robert A. Reed
Executive Director
