57th Season
The recitals planned for this season are having to be amended due to the pandemic. We ask for your understanding in these difficult circumstances. French organist Johann Vexo, who was originally scheduled to play in October, could not come from France because of international travel restrictions. We have postponed his Richmond appearance until our 2021-2022 season, date to be announced. We have also had to postpone until next season the recital of young American virtuoso Clara Gerdes, who was to have played in November.
After the successful in-person recital by Robert McCormick on October 2, we are optimistic that the following two recitals can happen as planned. Watch for updates later.
