In response to the recent announcements from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, all of the Diane Ballweg Winterfest Concerts have been postponed This includes the March 13 concert at the Hamel Music Center and the March 14 concerts scheduled for Mills Hall. The safety and health of our community is our most important priority.
The UW-Madison is cancelling all large campus events until April 10, due to the uncertainties presented by COVID-19 (the corona virus). This includes events scheduled at the Hamel Music Center, Mills Hall, and the Humanities Building. In addition, WYSO is postponing all concerts and activities scheduled for Capital Lakes and Oakwood Village University Woods for the safety of our senior community and supporters.
Rehearsals are cancelled on Saturday, March 14; Saturday, March 21; Saturday, March 28; and Saturday, April 4 for all orchestras and ensembles.
Everything else is a work in progress as we look at the calendar and rescheduling events. However, the range of WYSO activities currently impacted is listed below. Thank you for your understanding, patience, and support as we navigate these circumstances.
