The Santa Barbara Symphony has announced that this weekend’s Fandango Picante performances featuring violinist Anne Akiko Meyers will be rescheduled, due to COVID.

The performances, originally scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Jan. 15 and 3 p.m. Jan. 16, have been rescheduled to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 1 and 7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 5 at The Granada Theatre.

Current ticket-holders’ tickets will be automatically transferred to the new dates. For patrons unable to attend on the rescheduled date, tickets may be exchanged for any remaining monthly concerts this season, donated back to the symphony or be fully refunded.

For customer service, subscribers may call the symphony office, 805-898-9386, and those with single tickets should contact the Granada Box Office, 805-899-2222.

“The decision to reschedule was made out of an abundance of caution given the widespread surge of COVID 19 cases and the high transmissibility of the current Omicron variant within the local community, ” said Kathryn R. Martin, president/CEO. “As a local producer, there are hundreds of people in our care, in addition to our audiences.

“The musicians, the union, symphony staff, technical crew at the Granada Theatre, our volunteers, the community musician housing hosts, Anne Akiko Meyers, and our Board of Directors all look forward to experiencing Fandango Picante with Santa Barbara in the spring.”
