2020-2021 Season Cancellation Dear friends, In the spirit of prioritizing our community’s health, the board of directors I have made the difficult decision to cancel our 2020-2021 season due to COVID-19. We had an exciting season planned with the St. Lawrence String Quartet, Johannes Moser/Chiharu Iinuma, Pamela Frank/Stephen Prutsman, Miriam Khalil/Kinza Tyrrell, Pedja Muzijevic/Min-Jeong Koh/Adrian Fung, Invoke Quartet, and Viano Quartet with Martin Beaver. We have explored... various scenarios to invite you to our season following COVID-19 protocols but have come to the conclusion that health risks are too high. We are disappointed that we cannot share this season with you. However, plans for our 2021-2022 season are well underway with an innovative artist residency program which will trumpet Canadian talent, address public health concerns, and increase all the compelling aspects of our mission that have made MITM what it has been for the last 35 years. It will also help assure our welcoming you back in a safe manner and continue to share world-class music with you. Please stay tuned to hear of our plans in the coming months. If you have already purchased a subscription to our 2020-2021 season, please free to call our office at 604.873.4612 to arrange a refund, use it toward our 2021-2022 subscription, or donate for a charitable tax receipt. We anticipate a large volume of calls and emails so our small (but mighty) team thanks you in advance for your patience while we respond to everyone! Please stay in touch via Facebook! We miss you and cannot wait to congregate again over a cup of coffee and wonderful music when it is safe to do so once this global pandemic is behind us. Adrian Fung Executive & Artistic Director
