The New World Symphony's March 22 performance at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach has also been cancelled. Additionally, all lessons, coachings, campus tours, and community engagement events during this time will be cancelled.
In a message to ticket holders, Mr. Herring said, "This societal disruption is unique, even for those of us accustomed to hurricanes. Though it is disappointing to make this difficult decision, and there will be a financial stress on our organization, we believe it is the responsibility of each of us to do whatever is necessary to protect the safety and well-being of our community."
NWS's business model relies on ticket revenue and donations. In order to mitigate the loss of revenue from the cancelled concerts, and ensure the financial stability of the New World Symphony, we ask that our patrons consider donating or exchanging their tickets for these cancelled concerts as a gesture of support for NWS in these challenging times.
Ticket holders should contact the New World Symphony Box Office to:
DONATE TICKETS: Ticket holders may donate the value of their tickets to NWS as a tax-deductible donation, to help ensure our Fellows achieve the leadership necessary to carry our art form forward in communities worldwide. NWS can provide an acknowledgement letter for tax purposes.
EXCHANGE TICKETS: Tickets may be exchanged for another NWS performance for this season, next season or for a gift certificate which can be used at any time. All exchange fees will be waived in this situation.
RECEIVE A REFUND: Ticket holder may request a refund of the value of their tickets. The refund will be issued in the same manner as the original payment.
The New World Symphony Box Office can be reached by emailing tickets@nws.edu.
