Dear Friends,
New York Classical Players made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel the remaining concerts of 2019-20 season. Following the guidance of our state and local governments, NYCP will cancel all our performances to help limit the spread of COVID-19. The health and safety of our audience and musicians is a priority.
This is a challenging moment for the NYCP community. Small organizations like NYCP do not have operating reserves or endowments to offset our losses or lessen the impact of cancelled concerts. COVID-19 is a major blow for musicians who were anticipating sharing music they have worked hard to perfect - it is an artistic setback as well as a financial hit.
Classical music has endured for centuries because it connects us and reminds of our shared humanity and appreciation for beauty. NYCP looks forward to resuming our performances and regularly scheduled 10th anniversary season. During this COVID-19 situation, NYCP resolves to #KeepPlaying until we may perform for you again. We will keep practicing, keep perfecting our craft, and eagerly anticipate our next performance.
In the meantime, please enjoy NYCP's recordings and videos available on our YouTube channel - and stay well.
We are grateful for your friendship, patronage, and loyalty.
