Keyboard Conversations with Jeffrey Siegel Concert Cancelled

Eisemann Center Presents and the City of Richardson announced this week that the Keyboard Conversations® with Jeffrey Siegel concert rescheduled from April 19, 2020 to June 15, 2020 has been canceled. The cancellation is designed to protect the public's health and safety, consistent with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and other public health experts. At this time, the reopening of the Eisemann Center along with other performing arts facilities in Texas, has not yet been addressed or directives given on when or how we are to reopen. This uncertainty also made postponing the concert again not feasible.

As for Keyboard Conversations® this coming season, we are not yet able to say if the series will happen or not. Discussions are underway and we hope to have an answer by end of June or early July at the latest. Ticket holders have the option to request a full refund for the June 15th concert now OR wait to see if the series takes place and apply the value of their tickets toward a series subscription renewal for next season. Patrons may request a refund by contacting our Ticket Office at 972,744,4650 or by email tickets@eisemanncenter.com. Subscribers, even if refunded now, will still have the right to renew subscription seats before new subscriptions are processed. Patrons also have the option to donate the value of their tickets in support of new and creative educational outreach initiatives we will endeavor to do in the wake of COVID-19.

Eisemann Center Managing Director Bruce MacPherson said, "I personally wish to thank all of you for your faithfulness, patience and loyalty to Keyboard Conversations®. Please know that Jeffrey is in good health and "hunkered down" in New York City. Yes, he has a Steinway to help keep him busy and in shape to hit the road when tours across America will be allowed to happen."
