Toronto Symphony Orchestra has cancelled the remainder of its 2019-20 season.

Read the full statement below:

While the hall is now silent, the music will return! We miss all of our audiences and yearn to be back together. Music Director Gustavo Gimeno is at home in Amsterdam working hard to ensure that our 2020/21 season will inspire and elevate you when we emerge from these unprecedented times.

Musicians from your Toronto Symphony Orchestra continue to make magical musical moments from home as an expression of their commitment to you. You'll discover live performances, interviews, virtual concerts, and more on the TSO Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages. Please enjoy this musical gift of "I'll Be Seeing You" from our TSO musicians.

Ticketholders have been contacted with options. If you are a ticketholder, please check your email or voicemail for more information. We will work with you to prioritize your individual preferences for how you would like your 2019/20 tickets to be handled.

We would like to thank our community-subscribers, donors, patrons, musicians, artistic collaborators, and staff-for your support and commitment. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Matthew Loden
Chief Executive Officer
