What are you doing to keep patrons safe?

In order to keep our patrons, musicians, and staff safe, the MSO is closely monitoring the evolving COVID-19 situation and taking precautions as necessary. We are strongly encouraging a healthy and safe environment for everyone. This includes practicing social distancing, and may result in cancelling or postponing a concert.

The Gallo Center for the Arts is also taking extra precautionary measures by rescheduling concerts as necessary. Additionally, they are increasing and intensifying their cleaning protocols throughout the building. This includes disinfecting arm rests, door handles, handrails, counters, and other common surfaces after each performance. Additional hand sanitizer dispensers are being placed in the lobby as well as backstage.
