London Community Orchestra
482 Dundas Street N6B 1W6 London, ON, Canada

The health and safety of our audience and orchestra members are our first priority during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the London Community Orchestra Board has made the difficult decision to cancel the concerts planned for our 2020-21 season. We will all miss those opportunities to share our love of music and look forward to the time when we can gather together again for live concerts. If the pandemic situation changes over the course of the 2020-21 season such... that we can hold an in-person concert or provide an online concert option, we will let you know of our decision. We invite you to stay connected through our newsletter at https://tinyletter.com/LCOnewsletter or this Facebook page where you will find our latest news and information about our members and music. Our orchestra members will continue to play together, starting with string ensembles this fall. Part of our mission as a community orchestra is to provide opportunities for members of the community to make music together, and we are pleased that we can continue to do this.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the London Community Orchestra Board has made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel the remaining concert of our 2019/2020 season, scheduled for May 3rd. If you are a season subscriber, have remaining advance tickets, or had purchased a ticket for this concert we will honour your tickets at any concert in our upcoming 2020/2021 season. You may also donate the value of your ticket in exchange for a tax receipt or receive a refund. Should you wish to donate your ticket or obtain a refund please contact our manager, Kristin Hoffmann, at [email protected] or 519-438-3260. On behalf of the Orchestra, we thank you for your ongoing support and look forward to seeing you all again soon.
