COVID-19 UPDATE
Dear SSWPA Members, Teachers, and Young Artists,
The threat of the COVID-19 has made a huge impact in our everyday lives. As we adjust to help prevent the spread of the virus, there are SSWPA events that are scheduled in the coming weeks which will be affected.
For our Young Artist events, we will ensure to keep you posted, as we draw closer to the dates, on any cancellations or rescheduling. Students should continue practicing to perfect their program during this down time from school and other activities.
We will miss seeing our members for the final Piano Series Concert. Please do stay safe and healthy during this most unfortunate time.
Sincerely,
The SSWPA Board
The threat of the COVID-19 has made a huge impact in our everyday lives. As we adjust to help prevent the spread of the virus, there are SSWPA events that are scheduled in the coming weeks which will be affected.
- With CMU and other major institutions experiencing closures for an indefinite period of time, it is with extreme regret that our final concert in our Piano Concert Series with Yi-Nuo Wang, scheduled for April 5, 2020 is cancelled. There are no plans to reschedule this concert due to the unpredictability of closures and coronavirus precautions. We hope that all our members will look forward to the 2020-2021 season where we will provide another fabulous Piano Concert Series.
- The final Young Artist Honors Recital scheduled April 19th, 2020, will be canceled. If there will be a return to normalcy at the end of May, we might reschedule it then.
- Our remaining Young Artist recitals at Heinz Hall that are scheduled at the end of April and through May are canceled due to the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra concerts which are now canceled until May 21st. If the PSO will resume its concerts at the end of May, we will reschedule the last three recitals.
- Auditions for the Young Artist program that are scheduled for May 16th and 17th, 2020, at Duquesne University, Mary Pappert School of Music, will be postponed to September 12th and 13th, 2020. The application for the 2020-2021 season auditions has been posted to the SSWPA website.
For our Young Artist events, we will ensure to keep you posted, as we draw closer to the dates, on any cancellations or rescheduling. Students should continue practicing to perfect their program during this down time from school and other activities.
We will miss seeing our members for the final Piano Series Concert. Please do stay safe and healthy during this most unfortunate time.
Sincerely,
The SSWPA Board
