West Valley Symphony – Surprise AZ – Masterful Musicians ~ Powerful Performances ~ 47th Season

August 2020

Greetings to all the ticket purchasers of the West Valley Symphony Association,

As we continue to speculate about when and how we will be able to hold concerts again in the midst of information and projections that change almost daily, the Board of Directors must make current decisions based on what they feel is in the best interests of both musicians and the audience. We have many factors to consider.

We have published a Brochure/Order Form for the coming season starting November 15, 2020 and booked guest artists. The Vista, our concert hall, which is owned and operated by the Dysart Unified School District, has confirmed our dates for the coming season including the postponed March 29 concert on November 1. The Vista has, in fact, booked other performances at the facility for dates earlier than ours and for others throughout the next season. The school district has many uses for the facility and is a good responsible steward of the property.

At this point we are making plans to have concerts next season in accordance with our schedule, similar to the approach of many musical arts orchestral and ballet organizations in the Phoenix area. We also are aware of the many factors that must be included to provide a safe environment including the mandates and suggestions of the CDC and State and Federal entities. The details of those plans change frequently but ours will always include provisions for the utmost safety and economic benefit of those involved. We will keep you advised when we are able to provide more information. At this time no one can accurately predict anything.

We are presently selling tickets through the Arizona Broadway Theatre as we have done in the past. Season ticket sales at this point exceed 300 per concert. Since ABT is working with a reduced staff, response to calls will take a few days longer than normal. Please be patient.

To accommodate our existing series ticket holders we are allowing an additional 15 days, until August 15, for renewal of that seating. Please see letter enclosed for more details, which are similar to those in the past.

Thank you all for your cooperation, both during the past year and going forward into the coming year. Stay safe and look forward to whatever holds for our coming events which can only sound as they do in a concert hall such as The Vista.

Sincerely,

Larry Vering

President, Board of Trustees

Phoenician Tenors Concert Rescheduled to:

November 1, 2020

SAVE YOUR TICKETS!

Dear Symphony Patrons:

We thank you for your patience waiting for a status on the West Valley Symphony’s Phoenician Tenors concert originally scheduled for March 29, 2020 at The Vista Center for the Arts.We have rescheduled the concert to November 1, 2020, so be sure to save your tickets!

It has been difficult to assess how far out to postpone this concert due to the continual updates by the various government and health agencies. However, by November 1 we hope the COVID-19 virus will no longer be a factor. Safety for all is our primary concern. We expect to have the season renewal in the mail shortly.

We hope you will be able to attend on November 1 but If not, please consider:

Donating your tickets back to the Symphony by mail with a note as we are a Section 501(c) (3) nonprofit corporation.

Mailing your tickets in for credit against your 2020-2021 season ticket purchase through the Arizona Broadway Theatre box office with your season renewal.

The box office must have the Phoenician Tenors tickets in hand to issue a tax donation letter or credit against the new season, so tickets must be mailed back with a note as to a donation or with your season renewal for 2020-2021:

West Valley Symphony
c/o Arizona Broadway Theatre
7701 W Paradise Lane
Peoria, AZ 85382

Thank you for your support through these difficult times. We look forward to seeing you November 1 and then during the 2020-21 season.

Larry Vering, President
